    11.8%

    Explanation:

    The rate of the town of Boone is as follows

    Unemployment rate = 100 x Unemployed / Labour force

    Labor force = 30000 + unemployed

    Unemployed = 40000 - 1000 - 5000 - 30000 = 4000 (The number of people unemployed at town of Boone)

    Unemployment rate = 100 x 4000/34000 = 11.8%

    Therefore, the correct answer for this 11.8%. This is a percentage of people unemployed in the town of Boone.
