1. The so-called "unemployment rate" refers to the unemployed as a proportion of the labor force, and is calculated using the following method: Unemployment rate (%) = unemployed/labor force * 100% = unemployed / (unemployed + employed) *100%2. In comparison with the unemployment rate, the "broadly defined unemployment rate" includes " persons who want to work but not looking for a job, and who can begin to work at any time" in the non-labor force, and is therefore: Broadly defined unemployment rate (%) (the unemployed + persons who want to work but not looking for a job, and who can begin to work at any time)= ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── *100% (labor force + persons who want to work but not looking for a job, and who can begin to work at any time)
