    The percentage of adults who are not in the labor force is 21%

    Explanation:

    Labor Force = Number of Employed + Number of Unemployed

    Labor Force = 122 million + 17 million

    Labor Force = 139 million

    Total adults in economy = 175 million

    Adults not in labor force = Total adults in economy - Adults as labor force in economy

    Adults not in labor force = 175 million - 139 million

    Adults not in labor force = 36 million

    Adults not in labor force (percentage) = (36 million / 175 million) x 100

    Adults not in labor force (percentage) = 0.2057 x 100

    Adults not in labor force (percentage) = 20.57%

    Adults not in labor force (percentage) = 21%
