Unemployment & Labor Force Rate Calculator implementation

Binding contract

This record describes what an executable surface must bind and validate. It does not claim that a public calculator, package, or production route is deployed.

Input and validation requirements

A zero labor force produces unemployment_rate = 0/0, which is undefined and must be rejected or handled as an error. Inputs with labor force greater than the working-age population also produce mathematically defined but economically invalid percentages unless validation rejects them.

Required corrections

No binding erratum is attached to this unique-name record. Implementers must still preserve the declared units, domain, and failure behavior.

Inspectable interface fixture

The sample below is evidence for interface and validation tests, not a production implementation.

{
  "inputs": {
    "employed": 1500,
    "unemployed": 100,
    "working_age_population": 3000
  },
  "expected_outputs": {
    "unemployment_percent": 6.25,
    "participation_percent": 53.3333333333
  },
  "working": "labor_force = employed + unemployed = 1500 + 100 = 1600; unemployment rate = unemployed / labor_force = 100 / 1600 = 0.0625; unemployment percent = 0.0625 × 100 = 6.25%; participation rate = labor_force / working_age_population = 1600 / 3000 = 0.5333333333; participation percent = 0.5333333333 × 100 = 53.3333333333%."
