Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The labor-force participation rate is calculated by dividing the labor force by the total population, and then multiplying by 100. In this case, the labor force is 8,400 and the total population over 16 years of age is 13,254. So, the labor-force participation rate is (8,400 / 13,254) x 100 = 63.3%. Therefore, the correct answer is choice C.
