With unemployment in 1979
Persons who looked for work or were on layoff from a job during at least one seek in 1979 in which they did not work. (Note that the question on unemployment in 1979 did not inquire whether the person was available to accept a job.)

Note that the number of persons who worked in 1979 and the number with unemployment in 1979 add to more than the number of persons in the labor force in 1979, since many of the persons with unemployment also worked at one time or another in 1979.
