Your Labor Market Status and Activity
You are going to spend a lot of your life in the labor market.
Most of the time, you’ll be supplying labor services. But you
will have to find that job.
Most likely one job will not last your entire working life.
As you look for a job, get a job, quit a job and look for a
new job, you will pass through many of the population
categories used in the Current Population Survey.

Your Labor Market Status and Activity
Think about your current labor market status while you are
studying economics:
• Are you in the labor force or not?
• If you are in the labor force, are you employed or
unemployed?
• If you are employed, are you a part-time or a full-time
worker?
