Labor force - all nonmilitary people who are working and unemployed.

Employed - 16 years or older and come across one of these requirements: - They work as a minimum one hour for pay within the past week.

- They worked 15 hours or more hours deprived of pay in a family business, such as a farm.

- They apprehended jobs but did not work because of illnesses, vacations, labor disputes, or bad weather.

Unemployed - people who do not come across the said criteria are tallied as unemployed or they are temporarily out of work.
