To calculate the unemployment rate, we need to subtract the number of employed individuals from the total population and then divide that result by the total population.
So, the unemployment rate in this country is (65,000 - 20,000) / 65,000 = 45,000 / 65,000 = 0.6923, which is approximately 69%.
Therefore, the closest answer choice is 67%.
