Answer 1

The subject of this question is Social Studies. The working-age population can be divided into potential employees, labor force participants, over-employed or under-employed, and employed, unemployed, or not in the labor force.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of this question is Social Studies.

When dividing the working-age population, economists categorize them into four groups: potential employees, labor force participants, over-employed or under-employed, and employed, unemployed, or not in the labor force.

1. Potential employees include individuals who are of working age and have the ability to work but are not currently participating in the labor force.
2. Labor force participants refer to individuals who are either employed or unemployed, actively seeking work.
3. Over-employed or under-employed individuals are those who may be working but are not utilizing their full potential or are working below their skill level.
4. Finally, the employed, unemployed, or not in the labor force category represents the entire working-age population, dividing it into those working, those actively seeking work, and those who are not interested or unable to work.
