- The correct option is c. A construction worker who has given up looking for work after 18 months without a job.
A person is considered unemployed if he or she is actively looking for work and cannot find work. Even though the person in this example was looking for a job, he or she is no longer searching for a job. Thus, he or she cannot be called unemployed.
