Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the definition of unemployment, it refers to a situation where a person who is capable and willing to work is unable to find employment. Thus, Rene (who is retired) and Homer (who is a full-time student) are not counted as unemployed. Kim is also not considered unemployed because she still has a job, but she is not working due to a strike. Glenn, on the other hand, is actively seeking employment after graduating from college, and he is currently unable to find a job, so he is counted as unemployed.
