a stay - at - home mom who is considering whether to look for a job when her kids start school

someone who didnt work during the last week, but who responded to a few help wanted ads two weeks ago

Explanation:

The labor - force includes those who are employed and those who are unemployed but actively looking for work.

Someone who responded to help - wanted ads is actively seeking work and is part of the labor force (unemployed but in the labor force).
