Each person's employment status is described in the following table. Based on the criteria used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), identify each person's status as employed, unemployed, "not in the labor force" (if not in the civilian labor force but still part of the adult population), or "not in the adult population" if not in the civilian adult population. Person Status Raphael is a 49-year-old autoworker who was laid off from his job 6 months ago. He is frustrated with his inability to find a new full-time position. Last week, he took a part-time job but was given only 3 hours of work. Susan is a 31-year-old professional basketball player . She finished her last season as a player 3 weeks ago and is currently interviewing for a coaching position.

Clancy is a 17-year-old who just graduated from high school. He is taking it easy this summer, relaxing by the pool with his friends and family, and volunteering part-time at the local nursing home.
