## Step 1The labor force participation rate is a measure of the proportion of the working-age population that is either employed or actively seeking employment. ## Step 2If a person quits their job to become a stay-at-home parent, they are no longer part of the labor force. This means that the labor force participation rate falls.## Step 3The unemployment rate is a measure of the proportion of the labor force that is unemployed but actively seeking employment. ## Step 4Since the person in question is not actively seeking employment, they are not considered part of the labor force and therefore, the unemployment rate remains the same.
