The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

The bureau of labor statistics collect the data concerning the employment situations in an economy. It provides data on unemployment, types of employment and length of workweek. It comes under the department of labor and produces monthly data on unemployment rate.

It considers people who have a job or are involved in some business as employed. Those people who do not have a job or are not self employed or are not involved in a family business and are looking for work are unemployed.
