The table shows that there are about 11 million unemployed people and about 150 million students, elderly, or children. This means that there are about 150 million - 11 million = 139 million people who are not unemployed. Of these 139 million people, about 139 million - 11 million = 128 million people are not looking for work. Therefore, the answer is about 128 million people, which is closest to choice A.
