    Giving the following information:

    148,834,000 were employed, 8,296,000 were unemployed. 93,671,000 were not in the labor force.

    Explanation:

    Total population is sum of employed people plus unemployed people plus people that are not in the labour force, or 148,834,000 + 8,296,000 + 93,671,000 = 250,801,000.

    Total adult population is sum of employed people plus unemployed people (assuming that non-adults contribute 100% to those that are not in the labour force), or 148,834,000 + 8,296,000 = 157,130,000.

    Total labour force is sum of employed people plus unemployed people, or 157,130,000.

    Labor force participation rate is Employed people/Total labour force = 148,834,000/157,130,000 = 94.7%

    Unemployment rate is Unemployed people/Total labour force = 8,296,000/157,130,000 = 5.3%
