O The size of the labor force is 40 million

Explanation:

Given:

Participation rate is 75%

Unemployment rate is 10%

Employment rate is 67.5%

The number of employed is 27 million.

As the employment rate is 67.5% of the size of the labor force which means that 27 million people are employed, we can say that number of people are employed equals to 67.5 percent of the total size of the labor force and we can write it numerically as:

27 = size of the labor force $\times$ 67.5%

27 = size of the labor force $\times\frac{67.5}{100}$

27 = size of the labor force $\times0.675$

Dividing both side by 0.675

Size of the labor force = 40 million

Therefore, (O The size of the labor force is 40 million) option is correct.

cognitive overload: having a lot on your mind impairs decision-making and tends to result in the simplest, but not necessarily best, option being selected.

empathy gaps: overlooking how you might feel in a different situation can result in unnecessary purchases, such as overbuying when shopping for food on an empty stomach.

optimism and overconfidence: wearing rose-tinted glasses and having unrealistic expectations about the future can affect money management and leave you unprepared for a change in circumstance.

instant gratification: seeking instant gratification drives impulsive spending and can undermine long-term planning and savings.

harmful habits: automatic or mindless behaviour can amplify a poor financial decision as it becomes a recurring event.

social norms: we are heavily influenced by the actions of others; while this can be in certain circumstances, it also contributes to the pressure to keep up with the joneses through conspicuous consumption.
