discouraged worker

基本解釋

For some more good news, March saw a large drop of 210, 000 discouraged workers
以下依然是好消息，三月份的待業(yè)工人數(shù)量大幅度下降
One reason why the headline unemployment rate fell to 10% last month was because discouraged workers dropped out of the numbers since they were no longer looking for a job.
上個月縂躰失業(yè)率下降到10%的一個原因是氣餒的工人因爲(wèi)自願失業(yè)所以不再計入失業(yè)工人的人數(shù)（非自願失業(yè)或需求不足型失業(yè)才是真正的失業(yè)---譯者注）。
This is mainly the result of a shrinking labour force as discouraged workers give up the search for jobs.
這主要是因爲(wèi)氣餒的工人放棄尋找工作而導(dǎo)致勞動力減少。

We can extend this to a fourth group of unemployment if we want: the discouraged workers.
