    Explanation:

    Students & retirees are not considered as part of Labor force people are under 16 age, are not part of working age population underemployed people are doing part time jobs, so counted as employed

    Total employed = Employed full time + Underemployed

    = 96 + 31

    = 127 million

    Unemployed workers = 8 million

    Labor force size = employed + unemployed people

    = 127 million + 8 million

    = 135 million

    Working age population:

    = Total non-institutionalized population - People under age of 16

    = 243 - 38

    = 205 million

    Therefore,

    Labor force participation rate:

    = (Labor force size : Total non institutionalized population) * 100

    = (135 : 205) * 100

    = 66%
