Unemployment rate = 25.532%

Explanation:

Unemployed is defined as the number of people that are not working and are actively looking for a job. Unemployment is when people above a particular age are not in paid employment and not self-employed, but are actively looking for work.

Unemployment rate is calculated as Unemployed divided by total labour force multiplied by 100.

Unemployment rate = (Unemployed/Total labour force) * 100

Unemployment rate = (12/47) * 100

Unemployment rate = 25.532%
