Quizplus · Accepted Answer

People who are unemployed for a long period of time are the most likely group to account for the majority of total weeks of lost work. Other groups, such as retirees and incarcerated individuals, may not be actively seeking employment and therefore wouldn't contribute as much to this statistic. Discouraged workers may also not be actively seeking employment, but they are still included in the unemployment rate calculation and therefore may not account for as much lost work as those who are actively seeking but unable to find employment.
