The Bureau of Labor Statistics counts individuals as employed if they work for pay or profit, or work 15 hours or more as unpaid workers in a family business. Esmerelda qualifies as employed because she worked in her mother's business. Tabitha is also considered employed because she has a job but was temporarily absent due to illness.
