| 8. What is a discouraged worker? |
|
What do they eat? How do they pay their rent? Is it simply someone whose unemployment benefit has run out? Why do folks who want work not count as unemployed? What is the real unemployment rate when those people are counted? Isn’t it a really bad sign that 100,000 more people have joined the ranks of the desperate?
