...One day I walked with one of these middle-class gentlemen into Manchester. I spoke to him about the disgraceful unhealthy slums and drew his attention to the disgusting condition
of that part of the town in which the factory workers lived. I declared that I had never seen so
badly built a town in my life. He listened patiently and at the corner of the street at which we
parted company he remarked: "And yet there is a great deal of money made here. Good
morning, Sir."...

Question #3: What key event influenced the writing of this document?

explanation:

ad the excerpt and i will gladly answer

the correct answer is:   "   3.6 % " .

          →   the unemployment rate is:   " 3.6 % " .

explanation:

to calculate the "unemployment rate" :

the "unemployment rate"   =

  [# of people unemployed] /   [working age population]   * 100 %   ;

                =   [9 million] / [250 million]     *   100 % ;

    →     note:   the units of "million" cancel out;

                    since:   " {million} / {million} = 1 " ;

                =   (9 / 250)   * 100 %   ;

                = 0.036 * 100 % ;

                =   3.6 %

answer:   the unemployment rate is:   " 3.6 % " .
