/v2/persons status

According to the docs /v2/persons should return a status, that isn't the case.
I get an object with:

custom_attributes
employments
id
meta

I need that persons endpoint to count currently active employees within a company. Since I cannot filter on an non existing field, how to get a list of currently active employees, because /v2/persons return also the abandoned once.

How to get a list or a count of the active employees?
