The official unemployment rate and the U-4 measure of labor underutilization are two different measures of joblessness in the economy.
Excluding discouraged workers from the official unemployment rate may cause the official rate to (overstate/understate) the true extent of underemployment.

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the official unemployment rate is shown below:

Official unemployment rate is

= Unemployed workers ÷ (Unemployed + employed) × 100

= 13,863,000 ÷ (13,863,000 + 139,323,000) × 100

= 9.05%

Now for the U-4 is

= (Unemployed workers + discouraged workers) ÷ (Unemployed + employed + discouraged workers) × 100

= (13,863,000 + $993,000) ÷ (13,863,000 + 139,323,000 + $993,000) × 100

= 9.64%

Therefore for exclduing the discouraged workers it may cause the offical rate to understate the underemployment true extent
