Question

question 1
which of the following people would be counted in the labor force?
marianne, a 24 year old mom staying with kids at home.
yolanda, a 62 year old retired cosmetologist (hair stylist).
john, a 36 year old full time construction worker.
omar, a 15 year old part time fast food worker.

Explanation:

The labor - force includes people who are employed or unemployed but actively looking for work. Marianne is a stay - at - home mom and not in the labor force. Yolanda is retired and not in the labor force. John, as a full - time construction worker, is employed and thus in the labor force. In most places, 15 - year - olds are under the legal working age for full - time employment and Omar's part - time work may not be considered in the standard labor - force calculation.

Answer:

C. John, a 36 year old FULL TIME construction worker.
