Question

People who are not currently employed but say they want a job are counted as unemployed only if they:​ ​have previously held a job. are actively seeking employment.​ ​are discouraged workers. ​are between 16 and 65 years of age. ​are willing to accept any offer of employment.

Answer 1

discouraged workers will not fall in the labour force and anyone between the age of 16 and 65 might not be considered unemployed because they might not be actively looking for work as well and people who are willing to accept any of employment are not considered unemployed because there can be a chance that they fall under the category of frictional employement.

Therefore (a,c,d,e) are wrong

However a person actively looking for a job is considered unemployed when he is not currently employed because he is in the labour force and willing to work but not working and this falls well within the definition of the unemployed person

Therefore (b) are actively looking for employment is the answer to this question
