- did not work, neither had a job nor were seeking work,

- were seeking a job, albeit not in an active way or were actively seeking work but were not ready (available) to start work within the two weeks following the reference week,

- neither worked nor were seeking work, as they had already found a job and were waiting to start work during the period:
