The correct answers are:

- Wage/salary;

- Active job seekers;

The amount of money you earn by working is your wage or salary. The difference being that the wage represents the money you get paid on hourly, weekly, or monthly basis, while the salary is what you earn in year. The wages/salaries vary a lot, some being very high, some being modest, some very high, depending on the type of job, type of economy, as well as the qualifications of the worker.

The percentage of people that are actively looking for job is called active job seekers. The active job seekers can be people that are unemployed, but also people that re employed but want to work something or somewhere else. While some people struggle to find jobs and would accept almost anything, other people want to constantly progress, thus they are not satisfying with a job where they do not progress, so they seek for new challenges and opportunities.

separation of powers, therefore, refers to the division of government responsibilities into distinct branches to limit any one branch from exercising the core functions of another.   the intent is to prevent the concentration of power and provide for checks and balances.  

the traditional characterizations of the powers of the branches of american government are:

* the legislative branch is responsible for enacting the laws of the state and appropriating the money necessary to operate the government.

* the executive branch is responsible for implementing and administering the public policy enacted and funded by the legislative branch.

* the judicial branch is responsible for interpreting the constitution and laws and applying their interpretations to controversies brought before it.

forty state constitutions specify that government be divided into three branches:   legislative, executive and judicial.   california illustrates this approach; "the powers of state government are legislative, executive, and judicial.   persons charged with the exercise of one power may not exercise either of the others except as permitted by this constitution."

while separation of powers is key to the workings of american government, no democratic system exists with an absolute separation of powers or an absolute lack of separation of powers. governmental powers and responsibilities intentionally overlap; they are too complex and interrelated to be neatly compartmentalized. as a result, there is an inherent measure of competition and conflict
