Styles not Showing Up

I did it a bit differently, but I still get the same result; however, styles aren't showing up. It's just listing the names of the employees.

    $.getJSON( "../data/employees.json", function(response) {
      var statusHTML = '<ul class="bulleted">';
      for(var i = 0; i < response.length; i++) {
        if(response[i].inoffice) {
          statusHTML += '<li id="in">';
        } else {
          statusHTML += '<li id="out">';
        }
        statusHTML += response[i].name;
        statusHTML += '</li>';
      }
      statusHTML += '</ul>';
      $("#employeeList").prepend(statusHTML);
    });

It may be that you're using ID rather than Class on your list elements.
