30 Unemployed and employed
The survey divides the population 16 years and older into three groups:
Employed . These are people who perform any paid work, as well as those who have jobs but are absent from work because of illness, strikes, or vacations.
Unemployed . This group includes people who are not employed but are actively looking for work or waiting to return to work. More precisely, a person is unemployed if he or she is not working and (a) has made specific efforts to find a job during the last 4 weeks, (b) is laid off from a job and is waiting to be recalled, or (c) is waiting to report to a job in the next month. To be counted as unemployed a person must do more than simply think about work or, for example, contemplate the possibility of making a movie or being a rock star. A person must report specific efforts (like visiting local firms of answering want ads) to find a job. Those who are either employed or unemployed are in the labour force.
Not in the labour force. This includes the 34 percent of the adult population that is going to school, keeping house, retired, too ill to work, or simply not looking for work.
