Answer 1

Ms. Sue isn't here yet. You are correct about the 46-year-old. How about the 15-year-old who wants a job? How does your text define "labor force"? Is there an age limit?

Answer 2

There is an age limit, the very youngest is 16 years old. therefore the answer can not be (the 15 year old looking for a job).

Answer 3

Here in Arizona the age limit is 14 years old lol
