<> What happened in 1994 was that a question was added to the survey <> asking discouraged workers if they'd looked for a job at any time in <> the past year. That strikes me as not unreasonable. If you're just <> sitting around for months on end saying, "Shit, sure would like a <> job," without actually trying to find one, should you really be <> counted as "discouraged"? Since 1994, the person who hasn't looked for <> a job at all in the last year is categorized as "not in labor force - <> want job." A number that is published every month in the employment <> release. <> <> The Shadow graph has the broadest unemployment rate, which includes <> these wishful souls

oh right. i forgot. it's important to uphold this fucked up system and make sure that people who get so beaten down by the humiliation of unemployment that they just give up are ridiculed for daring to give up. oh no! bright side it! think positive. keep trying. you will get a job! it has to do with how hard you try, how much you look, how special and talented you are. if you don't try, that's is why you dn't get a job!

whatever.
