Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the question, we are looking for the group of people who have lost the most work weeks. Retirees are already out of the workforce, so they cannot be the correct answer. Discouraged workers, while they have given up on finding work, are still technically counted as unemployed and therefore not accounting for lost work weeks. Incarcerated individuals cannot work while they are in prison, but they also weren't necessarily seeking employment before being incarcerated. Therefore, the best answer is D, as people who are unemployed for a long period of time are likely to account for the most lost work weeks.
