Answer to Question 1

A discouraged worker is a person without a job, who is available and willing to work, but who has not made specific efforts to find a job within the past four weeks. Essentially, a discouraged worker is someone who wants a job but has grown so discouraged about finding one, he or she has stopped looking. Discouraged workers are not in the labor force so in one sense they do not affect the unemployment rate. However, if they re-enter the labor force to look for work, the unemployment will increase because while they are searching they are now counted among the ranks of the unemployed.
