Which of the following people is considered part of labor force?

a. an army sergeant

b. a 14 - year old with an after school job

c. a person who has lost a job but is looking for one

d. a mother raising her children at home

The correct answer is c. a person who has lost a job but is looking for one

The labor force is the sum of all employed and unemployed people who are of legal age and have or don't have full time jobs. That rules out B, while D is not a part of the force because a mother is not unemployed by force, but rather because she chooses not to join it. A job as an Army Sergeant is not a part of the labor force because it is not technically labor.

So the question ask to choose among the following choices the best answer that states the people that is considered part of labor force and the best answer among the following question is in letter C. a person who has lost a job but is looking for one. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more
