[Tex/LaTex] Stop indenting the second line in list

#enumerateenumitemindentationlists

I want to be able to stop indenting the second line in the list and still keep the indentation of the first line. Is it possible?

\documentclass[multi={minipage}, border=5]{standalone}

\usepackage{enumitem}

\begin{document}
\begin{minipage}{500bp}
\fontsize{20}{24}
\selectfont
\begin{enumerate}[topsep=0pt,itemsep=-1ex,partopsep=1ex,parsep=1ex,leftmargin=3ex]
\item{Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris.}
\item{ Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.}
\end{enumerate}
\end{minipage}
\end{document}

For example, in the following I want to remove the indentation before the underlined term:

This shows no indentation at all after the first line of each item, perhaps you want to indent to the label position?

enter image description here

\documentclass[multi={minipage}, border=5]{standalone}

\usepackage{enumitem}

\begin{document}
\begin{minipage}{500bp}
\fontsize{20}{24}
\selectfont
\begin{enumerate}[topsep=0pt,itemsep=-1ex,partopsep=1ex,parsep=1ex,leftmargin=0pt,
itemindent=3em]
\item{Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris.}
\item{ Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.}
\end{enumerate}
\end{minipage}
\end{document}

Notes:

This is only set up for one level of nesting -- It will need further enhancements if more than one level of nesting if desired.
If the first item is to be indented, you need to add \item[] before starting the IndentedEnumerate environment.
If you wish this to work without the enumitem package package, the only tweaks necessary should be to modify how the label is specified for the indented list.
The showframe package was used just to show the page margins.

Code:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{showframe}
\usepackage{enumitem}

\newcounter{ListStartCount}%
\newenvironment{IndentedEnumerate}[1][]{%
    \setcounter{ListStartCount}{\theenumi}%
    \stepcounter{ListStartCount}%
    \begin{enumerate}[start=\theListStartCount,label={\arabic*.},#1]%
}{%
    \setcounter{enumi}{\theListStartCount}%
    \end{enumerate}%
}%

\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}
\item[]
\begin{IndentedEnumerate}
\item This is the frist item with indentation, so need \verb|\item[]| before this.
\end{IndentedEnumerate} 
\item This is a normal item without any indentation.
%
\begin{IndentedEnumerate}
\item This is an indented item with a long text that causes a line break. Now, the enumeration is continued and the new line is indented. 
\end{IndentedEnumerate} 
%
\item This is a normal item without any indentation.
\end{enumerate} 
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Bullet and number indenting in list

I used some boxes to calculate the widths:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{enumitem}% http://ctan.org/pkg/enumitem
\setbox1=\hbox{$\bullet$}
\setlist{noitemsep, topsep=0pt, parsep=0pt, partopsep=0pt, leftmargin=1.8cm, labelindent=1.2cm, labelwidth=\wd1, itemindent=*, labelsep=\dimexpr0.6cm-\wd1}

\begin{document}

\noindent Here is some text.

\begin{itemize}
    \item \( y_i = 1 \) if individual \( i \) is employed is employed is employed is employed is employed is employed is employed is employed is employed is employed,
    \item \( y_i = 2 \) if individual \( i \) is unemployed is unemployed is unemployed is unemployed is unemployed is unemployed is unemployed is unemployed,
    \item \( y_i = 3 \) if individual \( i \) is inactive is inactive is inactive is inactive is inactive is inactive is inactive is inactive is inactive.
\end{itemize}
\noindent \rule{1.2cm}{1pt}$\bullet$ \par
\noindent \rule{1.8cm}{1pt} \par

\setbox1=\hbox{1.}
\setlist{noitemsep, topsep=0pt, parsep=0pt, partopsep=0pt, leftmargin=1.8cm, labelindent=1.2cm, labelwidth=\wd1, itemindent=*, labelsep=\dimexpr0.6cm-\wd1}

\begin{enumerate}
    \item \( y_i = 1 \) if individual \( i \) is employed is employed is employed is employed is employed is employed is employed is employed is employed is employed,
    \item \( y_i = 2 \) if individual \( i \) is unemployed is unemployed is unemployed is unemployed is unemployed is unemployed is unemployed is unemployed,
    \item \( y_i = 3 \) if individual \( i \) is inactive is inactive is inactive is inactive is inactive is inactive is inactive is inactive is inactive.
\end{enumerate}
\noindent \rule{1.2cm}{1pt}3 \par
\noindent \rule{1.8cm}{1pt} \par

\noindent Here is some text.

\end{document}

The enumitem documentation presents a graphic of the composition of lengths regarding its horizontal spacing,. leftmargin is constructed from 4 others lengths; or you could specify all but one using * and it will be calculated. See section 3 More on horizontal spacing, p 5. As is evident, it may be tricky to find out exactly which lengths go where...
