Supplementary notes

A discouraged worker refers to a person who has both the will and the skills to be employed but, due to labor market factors, has not looked for employment in the last four weeks but did so in the previous year. These persons are categorized as economically inactive, which means that an increase in discouraged workers does not necessarily increase the unemployment rate.
