A. B. C. D.

A person who is not actively looking for a job is not a member of the labor force and therefore is not employed. An individual who is not a member of the formal market and works at home without wages is not a member of the formal labor force. An auto worker who is waiting to be re-hired or who was laid off is considered unemployed.
