Answer 1

In U.S. labor force statistics, both working part-time while out of school and working while being a full-time student are considered as being employed.

Step-by-step explanation:

In U.S. labor force statistics, if you are out of school but working part-time, you are considered employed. Being employed means currently working for pay, regardless of the number of hours worked. So, if you are a full-time student working 12 hours a week at the college cafeteria, you are also considered employed. Similarly, if you are a senior citizen collecting social security and a pension and working as a greeter at Wal-Mart, you would be considered employed as well.
