    C. 13.7

    Explanation:

    First, we look for the unemployees who seek and want a job

    100 people

    -10 U-16

    -10 retired

    -63 employeed

    - 7 unemployeed but not seeking for job

    10 unemployeed who wants and seeks for a job.

    unemployement rate: unemployes / labor force

    where:

    labor force = employees + unemployees

    10 + 63 = 73

    unemployement rate = 10/73 = 0.136986 = 0.137
