    a. 244,662,000

    b. 155,654,000

    c. 63.62%

    d. 7.92%

    Explanation:

    a. the adult population

    Adult population = Number of employed + Number of unemployed + Number of people not included in labor force

    = 143,322,000 + 12,332,000 + 89,008,000

    = 244,662,000

    b. the labor force

    Labor force = Number of employed + Number of unemployed

    = 143,322,000 + 12,332,000

    = 155,654,000

    c. the labor-force participation rate

    Labor-force participation rate = Labor force : Adult population * 100

    = 155,654,000 : 244,662,000 * 100

    = 63.62%

    d. the unemployment rate

    Unemployment rate = Number of unemployed : Labor force * 100

    = 12,332,000 : 155,654,000 * 100

    = 7.92%
