Answer 1

Answer: 11 students in the class count as part of the labor force. (option 4).

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to understand who is included in the labor force.

The labor force is made up of the employed and the unemployed that are looking for a job.

So, in this case, there are six students with part-time jobs, two students with full-time jobs and three students looking for a part-time job.

Mathematically speaking:

• 6+2+3= 11 students

In conclusion, 11 students in the class count as part of the labor force. (option 4).
