Answer:

a) 10 percent

Explanation:

Unemployment is when workers are willing bro work and unable to find work.

Unemployment brate is a ratio of unemployed workers to the total civilian population.

We only consider workers that are willing to work as being unemployed

So willing workers that are unemployed= 1 million

Employed workers= 9 million

Civilian population = unemployed+ employed

Civilian population= 9+1= 10

Unemployment rate= Unemployed/ Civilian population

Unemployment rate= 1/10= 0.1= 10%
