Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The graph in Figure 2.5 shows that the unemployment rate in June 2013 was 7.6% and the total number of people in the civilian labor force was around 155 million. However, the question asks specifically for the adult civilian population, which is defined as individuals aged 16 years or older who are not in institutions such as prisons, mental hospitals, or nursing homes. Therefore, the total number of people in the adult civilian population labor force was likely slightly higher than the total civilian labor force. Answer choice A) 157.1 million is the closest option.
