Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Job losers make up the greatest share of those who are unemployed as they have been laid off or lost their jobs for reasons beyond their own control. New entrants are those who are entering the labor force for the first time and reentrants are those who are returning to the labor force after a period of absence, both of whom typically have lower unemployment rates compared to job losers. Job leavers are individuals who voluntarily left their jobs and are actively seeking new employment.
