Labor Force

The labor force, or workforce, is the total number of people who are currently employed plus the number of people who are unemployed and seeking employment. This number does not include people who are unemployed and not seeking employment, such as students and retirees. People who would like a job but are not currently looking for one are also not considered part of the labor force. In short, the workforce includes those who either have a job or are actively seeking one.
