English term or phrase: the ratio of the number unemployed to the labour force is the unemployment rate
Unemployment is the number of people who are looking for work but have no job. The sum of unemployment and employment is the labour force. People who neither have a job nor are looking for one are classified as outside the labour force, and the ratio of the number unemployed to the labour force is the unemployment rate.
