The table shows that the total number of employed persons in the civilian labor force is 150 million, and the number of unemployed persons is 6 million. Therefore, the total number of people employed is 150 million - 6 million = 144 million. However, the table also shows that there are 30 million part-time workers who would like to work full-time, so we need to subtract this number to get the actual number of people employed: 144 million - 30 million = 114 million. Therefore, the best choice is C) 114 million.
