Answer:

The fraction of people within this 45 potential workers that are willing and able to work for pay, currently available to work, and are commited in the seach for work.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Not every potential worker is an unemployed person. To be part of unemployment, the person must be able to work (be aged enough for example) and must be willing to work for a payment. This last condition means that the person must be determined to find a job by doing specific actions to get hire (like sending its curriculum vitae or resume, assist to work interviews, and else).
  • If a person is not able to work (because it is too young for example) or is not willing to work (because it does not do anything concrete to find a job), is not unemployed.
