Question

question 8
kamila is an unpaid worker in her familys restaurant. the bureau of labor statistics counts kamila as
○ a discouraged worker.
○ employed and in the labor force.
○ a marginally attached worker.
○ unemployed and in the labor force.

Explanation:

To determine how the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) classifies Kamila, we analyze each option:

• A discouraged worker is someone who has given up looking for work, which does not apply here.
• A marginally attached worker is not in the labor force but wants work, which also does not apply.
• Unemployed workers are without a job but seeking work; Kamila is working (unpaid in a family business), so this is incorrect.
• The BLS counts unpaid workers in family businesses as employed because they are actively working, and employed individuals are part of the labor force. Thus, Kamila is employed and in the labor force.

Answer:

B. employed and in the labor force.
