Critical Reasoning (CR) | Re: The rate of unemployment in Country X is higher than is

The rate of unemployment in Country X is higher than is the rate of unemployment in Country Y. Therefore, the number of unemployed people in Country X is greater than the number of unemployed people in Country Y is.
Let's first understand what is rate of unemployment in general= Total unemployment/Total population eligible to work(Organized+unorganized)
Pre-thinking:
Now if we see here, for X it would be Unemployment(X)=Total Unemployed people(X)/Total Labor(X) and similarly for Y-->
Unemployment(Y)=Total Unemployed people(Y)/Total Labor(Y) . Now, as per the premise Unemployment(X)>Unemployment(Y) and as per the conclusion Total Unemployed people(X)>Total Unemployed people(Y).

What can we say for denominator then? Total Labor(X)<= Total Labor(Y) i.e. author's assumption might be one of the two cases 1)Total Labor(X)= Total Labor(Y) or Total 2)Labor(X)<Total Labor(Y)
