Which of the following people would be counted as unemployed?  
A) a completely retired naval officer 
B) a full-time high-school student who does NOT have time for a job 
C) a father of preschool children who does NOT want to work 
D) a downhill ski instructor who looks for work only during the winter

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Only option D, the downhill ski instructor who only looks for work during the winter, would be considered unemployed as they are actively seeking work but currently unable to find employment outside of their seasonal job. The other options are not seeking or available for work (retired naval officer, full-time high school student) or do not want to work (father of preschool children), and therefore would not be counted as unemployed.
