Think of someone you know who is unemployed. (You do not need to identify this person in any way; please don't share their name or their relationship to you. If you must refer to them, just use their initials.) Use the same person for both questions.

How can you be sure that this person would be considered as "unemployed" by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and not "employed" or "not in the labor force"? Defend your categorization of this person as unemployed by explaining why they do NOT count asemployedand why they do NOT count asnot in the labor force.
