Please note, people who do household chores for other families (domestic helpers) are counted as "employed".<br /><br />- Waiting for a job/waiting to start business activities: Include people who are not working, but are not looking for a job in the past 30 days because they have gone to a previous job interview/test/application and are waiting for the results of the job interview/test/application, and have not known the results as well as the time to start the job; people who have an employment offer/notice, an employment letter, or signed a labor contract with the employer but have not started working during the reference period; preparing to start business activities, etc.<br /><br />- Temporary illness/busy: Include people who are temporarily absent from work due to illness, and those who are busy with a family business.
