According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in a recent year, there were 16,347,000 women aged 25 to 34 who were employed and 5,206,000 who were unemployed but looking for work. What is the rate per 1,000 women aged 25 to 34 who were employed? Round to the nearest whole number.
??? employed women per 1,000 women

Answer 1

The total number of women aged 25 to 34 is 16,347,000 (employed) + 5,206,000 (unemployed) = 21,553,000.

Therefore, the rate per 1,000 women aged 25 to 34 who were employed is (16,347,000 / 21,553,000) * 1000 = 759. Rounded to the nearest whole number, this is 759 employed women per 1,000 women.
