3 Who are the Unemployed cont. From Non-Institutional Adults… Subtract those already retired and the “homemakers” Subtract full time students over the age of 16 Subtract the "discouraged" (those not looking)  This leaves the “Civilian Labor Force”

4 Who are the Unemployed cont. From the Civilian Labor Force… Subtract Full time employees Subtract Part time workers (15-39 hr/wk) Subtract unpaid family business workers (family) Subtract anyone on sick leave, strike, or vacation  This is the “Employed Population”

5 Who are the Unemployed? cont. Everyone else… They must be either looking for a job and not finding one, or in between jobs/changing careers NOTE: People who would like work but have given up looking for a job are “Discouraged workers” and DO NOT count toward the official unemployment rate.
