The Department of Labor statistics seem to break down as follows:
Total employed are just that, employed persons 16 years and older. The civilian work force includes unemployed and employed persons, ages 16 and older.
Another name for a civilian work force is a non-military workforce.
Subtracting the labor force from the total workforce leaves you with unemployed individuals who are of working age but not actively participating in labor activities. These could include students, retirees, homemakers, or those not seeking work. It highlights a section of the population that is not directly contributing to the economy. This metric is often used to assess economic engagement levels.
An increase in the labor force can lead to higher productivity levels and economic growth. However, if there is a surplus of labor relative to available jobs, it can result in unemployment and downward pressure on wages. Conversely, a shortage of labor can lead to labor shortages, wage inflation, and potential bottlenecking of economic activity.

They are not counted as part of the labor force unless they enter the labor force. They are considered to be part of the eligible labor force because 16 is the age you can legally be employed because of child labor laws. That is not to say someone under 16 can't work. it just means those under 16 are severly restricted in what they can do such as operate certain types of machinary and such.
