Given the following information for a country, what is the labor force participation rate?

210

Those not in the labor force

50

Unemployed

8

Employed

152

A)
 72%.
B)
 95%.
C)
 76%.

Labor force participation rate = (# of persons 16 or older who are employed or seeking employment) / (civilian population 16 or older)
Labor force participation rate = (8 + 152) / 210 = 76%.
