There were 5 full-time homemakers, 5 full-time students over age 16 and 2 people who were disabled and cannot work. The remaining people did not have jobs but all said they would like one. One of these people had not looked for work for 3 months, however.” Calculate: (v) The number of persons not in the labour force
