Question

employable

grown ups

job force

labor force

Answer 1

That definition describes the labor force (also called the workforce or, in statistical tables, the civilian labor force).

Notes on the other options:
- employable — means capable of working, not necessarily employed or actively seeking work.
- grown ups — informal for adults; usually means 18+ and not specific to employment status.
- job force — informal phrase; not the standard statistical term.
