The 22-year-old teacher who recently lost his job and is currently looking for a new one.

Explanation: Unemployed means not working but actively searching and available for work. The 18-year-old is employed, the 15-year-old is below the usual labor-force age, and the retired 65-year-old is not seeking work.
