Who of the following is not included in the Bureau of Labor Statistics' "employed" category?

Explanation:

The correct answer is c. those waiting to be recalled to a job from which they had been laid off

Employment, as defined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, includes individuals who are currently working and earning income. This encompasses individuals who work in their own business, those who work as unpaid workers in a family member's business, and those who are temporarily absent from work due to vacation.

However, individuals who are waiting to be recalled to a job from which they had been laid off are not considered as "employed" as they are currently not actively working or earning income. This category falls under the classification of unemployed individuals.

It's important to differentiate between being on vacation, which is a temporary leave from work that may or may not be paid, and being unemployed, which signifies not currently working or earning income. Working in a family business or owning one's own business both fall under the category of being employed.
