Which of the following methods can be used to accurately calculate the unemployment rate? Select all that apply.

To accurately calculate the unemployment rate, we typically use surveys and data collection methods that track how many people are looking for work and how many are actually employed. One common method is the labor force survey, which asks a representative sample of people about their employment status. Another method is using administrative data from government agencies that record jobless claims and employment statistics. For example, if a survey shows that out of 100 people, 10 are unemployed and actively seeking work, the unemployment rate would be 10 percent. By combining these methods, we can get a clearer picture of the job market and understand how many people are struggling to find work.
