Question

1. Assume you have recently been hired by the BLS to track and chart unemployment. Your first task is to create a chart categorizing individuals based on the BLS unemployment classifications. Your chart should note:
   1. Whether the individual is included or not included in the labor force.
   2. If they are included, state whether that person is counted as employed or unemployed.
   3. If unemployed, which type of unemployment classification.

You may use the following template to assist you. For any non-applicable cells in the chart please use the value of N/A. For example an employed person would have N/A for point iii.

Name	Labor Force Inclusion	Employment Classification	Unemployment Type
Connor (Sample)	Yes	Unemployed	Frictional

(Note: You may just edit in additional rows on my chart above)

1. Harry had a job portraying a wizard at Universal Studios theme park to entertain guests.
