To be considered unemployed one must:

Question

a. Be actively looking for a job.
b. Be willing to take a pay cut.
c. Want a full-time job.
d. Be over the age of 16.

Answer 1

To be considered unemployed, one must meet certain criteria, which generally include:

a. Be actively looking for a job - This is a key condition for being classified as unemployed. If a person is not actively seeking employment, they are not considered unemployed, even if they may want a job.

While the other options may relate to employment status or job seeking in general, they are not strict criteria for being categorized as unemployed by definitions commonly used (like those from the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the U.S.).

So the correct answer is a. Be actively looking for a job.
