The Bureau of Labor Statistics considers individuals who are on temporary layoff and actively seeking work to be unemployed. Therefore, Miguel, who is on temporary layoff, would be included in the "unemployed" category. Reta, who worked only 15 hours last week, would not be considered unemployed since she was employed for some part of the week. Marisa, who neither has a job nor is looking for one, would not be considered unemployed since she is not actively seeking work.
