which of these people is in the labor force
15 year old high school student who wants a job
a 32 year old mother who stopped working
a 46 year old woman who is unemployed but seeking a job <---
a 68 year old man who is retired
Ms. Sue isn't here yet. You are correct about the 46-year-old. How about the 15-year-old who wants a job? How does your text define "labor force"? Is there an age limit?
There is an age limit, the very youngest is 16 years old. therefore the answer can not be (the 15 year old looking for a job).
Here in Arizona the age limit is 14 years old lol
The person who is in the labor force from the options you provided is the 46-year-old woman who is unemployed but seeking a job.
The labor force refers to the portion of the population who are either employed or actively seeking employment. In this case, the 46-year-old woman is actively looking for a job, which categorizes her as a member of the labor force.
To determine whether someone is in the labor force, you can consider if they are currently working or actively seeking employment. Those who are not working and not seeking employment, such as the 32-year-old mother who stopped working or the 68-year-old man who is retired, would not be considered part of the labor force.
