How is the civilian labor force, unemployed, and employed defined?
The civilian labor force includes individuals in the non-institutional population classified as either unemployed or employed. What is an unemployed person? An unemployed person is one who had no employment during the reference week, was available and actively looking for work (except for temporary illness), and had made specific efforts to find employment (i.e., applied for jobs, sent out resumes) some time during the four-week period ending with the reference week. Individuals waiting to be recalled to a job from which they had been laid off need not have been looking for work to be classified as unemployed. Those expressing a desire for work, but not currently looking for a job, are not included in this definition. What are reasons for unemployment? There are five types of unemployed persons. • Job Losers – Workers who have been laid off or fired, either temporarily or permanently. • Job Leavers – Individuals who have voluntarily left their jobs. • People Who Complete Temporary Jobs
