What is the difference between job losers and the unemployed?
People who have lost a job make up a large portion of those classified as unemployed each month. There are also persons who have voluntarily left jobs, persons who have newly entered or re-entered the labor force but not yet found a job, and persons who have recently completed temporary jobs and are looking for employment. For a more detailed description of these labor force concepts and how these labor force classifications are defined, see Definitions of Labor Force Concepts (PDF 102K).
