Simone will be considered unemployed.

Explanation:

Simone is 26 years old, this means that she is in the adult population. She used to work as a copy editor for a newspaper. She has lost her job and is actively looking for work. She will be considered an unemployed person and will be included in the labor force.

Those workers who do not have a job currently but are actively looking for one are considered unemployed. Those who are without jobs but are not actively looking for one are considered discouraged workers and are not included in the labor force. The labor force includes only employed and unemployed workers.
