[QUOTE="SlugSlinger, post: 3007079, member: 7248"] I'm not sure about that. Looks like you are not employed or unemployed per the definitions below from the bls. [URL]https://www.bls.gov/cps/cps_htgm.htm#unemployed[/URL] [SIZE=3][B]What are the basic concepts of employment and unemployment?[/B][/SIZE] The basic concepts involved in identifying the employed and unemployed are quite simple: [LIST] [*]People with jobs are [I]employed[/I]. [*]People who are jobless, looking for a job, and available for work are [I]unemployed[/I]. [*]The [I]labor force[/I] is made up of the employed and the unemployed. [*]People who are neither employed nor unemployed are [I]not in the labor force[/I]. [/LIST] The survey excludes people living in institutions (for example, a correctional institution or a residential nursing or mental health care facility) and those on active duty in the Armed Forces. The survey is designed so that each person age 16 and over (there is no upper age limit) is counted and classified in only one group. The sum of the employed and the unemployed constitutes the civilian labor force. People not in the labor force combined with those in the civilian labor force constitute the civilian noninstitutional population 16 years and over. Under these concepts, most people are quite easily classified. For example, consider these fictional scenarios: [LIST=1] [*]Elena reported to the interviewer that last week she worked 40 hours as a sales manager for a beverage company. Elena is [I]employed[/I]. [*]Steve lost his job when the local plant of an aircraft manufacturing company closed down. Since then, he has been contacting other businesses in town trying to find a job. Steve is [I]unemployed[/I]. [*]Linda is a stay-at-home mother. Last week, she was occupied with her normal household activities. She neither held a job nor looked for a job. Her 80-year-old father who lives with her has not worked or looked for work because of a disability. Linda and her father are [I]not in the labor force[/I]. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
