Justice Santana · Answer 1

e. Thomas, who is unemployed but has given up searching for a job

Explanation:

The term "labor force" refers to people in an economy that are either employed or unemployed and searching for employment.

From the options provided, Thomas is the only one who is not employed and not looking for a job hence, he should not be considered as part of the labor force.
