    c. 8 percent of the labor force is unemployed.

    Explanation:

    The Unemployment Rate measures the percentage of the total labor force that is unemployed while actively seeking employment during the previous month. If the unemployment rate is 8 percent, this means 8 percent of the labor force is unemployed. That also means, out of all the people actively seeking employment during the previous month, 8 percent are still unemployed or jobless.
