If the labor force of 155 million people is growing by 1.0 percent per year, how many new jobs have to be created each month to keep unemployment from increasing?

Answer :

barnuts

First let us compute for the total growth in population.

Growth = 155 million * 0.01

Growth = 1.55 million

 

Since there are 12 months in a year, therefore the new jobs every month should be:

new jobs per month = 1.55 million / 12

new jobs per month = 0.129 million = 129,167
