The percent increase is the amount of the increase, divided by the original number; multiplied by 100 to convert to a percentage:
= 27.94% to 2 decimal places.
Note: The actual percentage increase might be a good deal more or less than that number. To get a more accurate number for the percent increase, the given unemployment rates need to be accurate to more than one decimal place.
