The working-age population can be divided into two groups - those in the labor force (i.e. people currently employed or actively seeking employment) and those who are not in the labor force (i.e. not currently employed and not actively seeking employment, such as students, retired individuals, and homemakers). This is the most commonly used and accepted way to divide the working-age population into groups. The other options presented do not accurately capture the distinction between those who are employed or seeking employment versus those who are not.
