Answer :

To determine the unemployment rate for each year where it is missing, we can follow these steps:

1. Understand the Unemployed Rate Calculation: The unemployment rate is calculated using the formula:
[tex]\[ \text{Unemployed Rate} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of Unemployed}}{\text{Civilian Labor Force}} \right) \times 100 \][/tex]

2. Calculate the Missing Unemployed Rates:

- For 2003:
[tex]\[ \text{Unemployed Rate} = \left( \frac{8774}{146510} \right) \times 100 \approx 5.9887\% \][/tex]

- For 2004:
[tex]\[ \text{Unemployed Rate} = \left( \frac{8149}{147401} \right) \times 100 \approx 5.5285\% \][/tex]

- For 2005:
[tex]\[ \text{Unemployed Rate} = \left( \frac{7591}{149320} \right) \times 100 \approx 5.0837\% \][/tex]

- For 2006:
[tex]\[ \text{Unemployed Rate} = \left( \frac{7001}{151428} \right) \times 100 \approx 4.6233\% \][/tex]

- For 2007:
[tex]\[ \text{Unemployed Rate} = \left( \frac{7078}{153124} \right) \times 100 \approx 4.6224\% \][/tex]

- For 2009:
[tex]\[ \text{Unemployed Rate} = \left( \frac{14265}{154142} \right) \times 100 \approx 9.2545\% \][/tex]

- For 2012:
[tex]\[ \text{Unemployed Rate} = \left( \frac{12506}{154974} \right) \times 100 \approx 8.0697\% \][/tex]

Below is the updated data set including the calculated unemployed rates:
