Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Only Emmanuel, who lost his job and is actively searching for a new one, would be considered unemployed in Canada. Caitlin is too young to work, James is a full-time student (so not in the labor force), Youngmin is currently employed (even if it's not full-time), and Vik is not actively searching for work.
