Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a person who is laid off and waiting to be called back to their job is still considered unemployed, as they are actively seeking employment but currently without a job. They would not be classified as "not in the labor force" because they are still searching for work. They also would not be classified as "employed" because they do not currently have a job. And they would not be classified as a "discouraged worker" because they are actively seeking employment rather than giving up on the job search altogether.
