Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The official unemployment rate only includes workers who are actively seeking employment but are unable to find a job. Workers temporarily laid off are included in this category as they are considered unemployed even though they have a job to return to. Discouraged workers, underemployed workers, and part-time workers may be considered in alternative measures of unemployment, but are not included in the official unemployment rate.
