This graph shows the US unemployment rate from August 2010 to November 2011.

A graph titled Sample Unemployment Rate Graph has the date on the x-axis and unemployment rate percentage on the y-axis, from 0 to 10 in increments of 2. The x-axis contains the dates August 10, January 11, June 11, and November 11. A line starts at August 10 and curves slightly down below 4 percent at January 11, and then back up toward November 11.

This graph could help an economist predict

how the government will address unemployment.
which industries are most in need of workers.
how many people will be out of work in the next year.
why producers might hire fewer workers in the future.

how many people will be out of work in the next year.

Reason: the time‑series of the unemployment rate lets an economist extrapolate future unemployment levels. The other choices require policy, industry, or causal detail not shown.
