Research Assignment #3: Labour Force and Unemployment
You need to find information on the rate of unemployment, the rate of employment, and the participation rate, annually from 2000 to 2020 (or to the latest year available), for your selected country.
a. Create a table of the key categories of labour (in millions) and key labour ratios (%) for your selected country, for the most recent year for which data are available (probably 2019 or 2020). You can use the Excel table from the lecture to enter the data and generate the ratios (but you don't have to): a picture of the Excel table is below, and the actual Excel table that you can enter numbers into is in the same folder as these instructions.

i. Employment rate and Labour Force (Participation1) Rate, for your selected country only, on the same graph

ii. Unemployment rate, on a separate graph, for your selected country and for Canada
c. Describe the trends and volatility in these rates for your country over time, how these differ to Canada for the unemployment rate, any significant changes that took place during the period.
d.
