Answer to Question 1

The statement is incorrect because the long-run Phillips curve is vertical. The short-run Phillips curve is downward sloping.

Answer to Question 2

People who are classified as unemployed do not have a job but are currently available to work and are actively looking for a job. These people are included in the labor force.
People who are classified as underemployed have a job for which they are overqualified. Since these people are working, they are a part of the labor force.
People who are classified as discouraged workers have given up actively looking for work after an extended period of unemployment and are no longer included in the labor force.
