Please help! a) Beatrice lives in a small town of 5,000 people. There are 1,500 people under the age of 16,
500 people who are retired, 2,750 people who have jobs, and 250 people who are actively
looking for work. What is the unemployment rate of Beatrice's town?

8.33%

Explanation:

250 unemployed people looking for work / 3000-member labor force = 0.0833

3000 = 5000 (the population) minus 2000 (those who aren't part of the labor force; aka the kids and retirees)

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
