    2.13%

    Explanation:

    The computation of the unemployed rate is shown below:

    Unemployment rate = (Number of Unemployed workers) : (Total labor force) * 100

    where,

    Number of unemployed workers = Labor force - employed workers

    = 36.21 million - 35.44 million

    = 0.77 million

    And, the labor force is 36.21 million

    So, the unemployment rate is

    = 0.77 million : 36.21 million

    = 2.13%
