1 Whom does the ONS classify as being unemployed, a part-time worker, an employed person, a discouraged worker and not in the workforce?

Explain your classifi cation. The Labour Force Survey reported the following situations in July 2016:

◆ Sarah works 10 hours a week at McDonald’s. She is available to work more hours but hasn’t looked for extra work.

◆ Kevin spent the fi rst six months of 2014 actively searching for a job but he didn’t get hired. He believes there are no jobs, so he has given up looking.

◆ Pat quit the job he had for the past two years and is actively looking for a better paying job. He is available to work and is still searching for a job.

◆ Mary is a new graduate who was hired while she was a student to start a job in August.

◆ Johnnie, a guitar player, quit his band in June, has no job in July, and is not looking for work.
