Answer 1

Felix- Employed, Yvette- Employed, Frances- unemployed, Jamal- not in labor force, Shen- not in labor force

Step-by-step explanation:

People who have a job and are currently working are considered employed. Those who don't have a job but are looking for one are unemployed. Adults who are not working and looking for jobs and those who have retired are not in the labor force. Children below 16 are not in adult population.

Felix is employed as he is working as a coach.

Yvette is working on her novel so she will be considered employed.

Frances does not have a job and is looking for one, so he is unemployed.

Jamal is retired so he is no longer in the labor force.

Shen will not be in the labor force as he is no longer looking for work.
