What do economists mean by unemployment?

Answer
A
the state of any person who is not working in a job that pays wages
B
the state of people who do not have a job, but are actively looking for work
C
the state of people being replaced by robots or other forms of automation
D
the state of people being employed in one or more low-paying jobs

Explanation

Economists count people as unemployed when they do not currently have a job and are actively seeking work. Someone who is not working but is not looking for a job is generally not counted as unemployed, so choice B is the best definition.
