The unemployment rate represents the proportion of individuals without jobs within the labor force, expressed as a percentage. For a specific demographic group (such as by age, gender, or marital status), the unemployment rate is calculated by dividing the number of unemployed individuals in that group by the total labor force of the same group and converting the result into a percentage. These figures are typically rounded to the nearest tenth.
