To determine which of these people is part of the labor force, we need to understand what the labor force consists of. The labor force includes all individuals who are employed or actively seeking employment. Those individuals who are not employed and not seeking employment are not considered part of the labor force.
Let's analyze each option:
A. An eighth-grader with a paper route: Since this person is in eighth grade and has a paper route, it implies they are working. However, they are likely engaged in a part-time job and may not be considered part of the labor force.
B. A retired salesperson: A retired person is not actively seeking employment or currently employed. Therefore, they are not part of the labor force.
C. A full-time college student: While a full-time college student may not be employed, they can still be part of the labor force if they are actively seeking employment. If the student is actively looking for a job, they would be part of the labor force. If not, they would not be considered part of the labor force.
D. An auto mechanic: An auto mechanic is a profession that involves employment and working in the labor market. Therefore, an auto mechanic would be part of the labor force.
Based on the analysis above, the person who is most likely part of the labor force is the auto mechanic (Option D).
