Percentage of employed in #2011# is #78%#.

Explanation:

In #2010#, we have #15%# of population unemployed. If population of country is #100#, we have #15# unemployed and #85# employed.

In #2011#, 10% of people unemployed become employed i.e. #15xx10/100=1.5#. Further #10%# of employed i.e. #85# became unemployed i.e. #85xx10/100=8.5#

Hence number of unemployed in #2011# are #15-1.5+8.5=22#

and number of employed are #85+1.5-8.5=78#.

Hence, percentage of empployed in #2011# is #78%#.
