The answer is the third one: A 22-year-old aspiring actress currently without any show business employment, but she is working temporarily as a waitress while she auditions for acting jobs.

Explanation:

  1. A recent college graduate currently without any employment and is looking for her first full-time job.

    • This individual is counted as unemployed because she is actively seeking employment and does not currently have a job.
  2. A 35-year-old woman fired from her prior work because of poor performance and is looking for another job.

    • This individual is also counted as unemployed because she is actively seeking employment after losing her previous job.
  3. A 22-year-old aspiring actress currently without any show business employment, but she is working temporarily as a waitress while she auditions for acting jobs.

    • This individual is not counted as unemployed because she is currently employed as a waitress. The unemployment rate considers individuals who are without a job and actively seeking work, not those who are employed, even if the employment is temporary or not in their desired field.
  4. A 50-year-old woman laid off from her former job because of a downturn in the company's sales and is looking for another job.

    • This individual is counted as unemployed because she is actively seeking employment after being laid off.
