We need either the total number of men in the labour force in June or any correlation between the number of unemployed men in the labor force in May and in June.

Both statements don't provide any of the above.

Not satisfied with the solution. From A we get total men, which helps to get to unemployed portion for June

OK
So what if there are more people joining in the workforce at the start of June.
We don't have the number of unE' people in June neither do we have any kind of info about the relation about unE' in may to june nor we have data about June. We just get the total enE' of May month.
Hope it answers your pretty question. And hope you more questions coz this gives me a writing practice for my AWA. :lol: ;)
