A person not working who has given up searching for a job.

Explanation:

A construction worker who was laid off due to cold weather is employed, but just not working for a period of time. When cold weather gets better he will continue working.

A full-time college student who is not a member of the labor force does not count as unemployed, he or she dedicates his or her time to study.

A part-time worker looking for a full-time job is employed for a few hours. He may be searching for more hours in order to get more money, but he is actually working.
