Job losers make up the greatest share of those who are unemployed as they have lost their previous employment due to layoffs or business closures. New entrants are those who are entering the labor force for the first time, reentrants are those who are returning to the labor force after a period of absence, and job leavers are those who voluntarily left their previous employment. These categories make up a smaller share of the unemployed.
