Answer

a. 10

Work Step by Step

Unemployment counts those who are not employed, are available for work, and tried to find employment during the last four weeks, as well as those who are waiting to be recalled to a job from which they were laid off. The 10 people in Ectenia who are looking for a job are the only unemployed. The 10 discouraged workers are not counted in the labor force and therefore not unemployed.
