Additional field(s): Finance (general), Government / Politics, Human Resources
English term or phrase: discouraged workers
Definition from InfoUSA - U.S. Department of State:
Jobless people who are available for work but who are not actively seeking it because they think they have poor prospects of finding a job. Discouraged workers are not counted as part of the labor force or as being unemployed.

Example sentence(s):
  • As the number of unemployed workers in the labor force continues to decline, the focus on discouraged workers and other individuals marginally attached to the labor force has increased. The Heritage Foundation
  • As you can see, the worse the recession, the more workers get discouraged. The longer our current recession drags on, the further off the reported unemployment rate will be versus the true number that includes discouraged workers. The Atlantic Monthly Group
  • Other economists, however, argue that a distinction should be made between those discouraged workers who remain available for work and those who do not even want a job. Time Inc.

Yes  Solfrid Lokslid: Jeg synes dette er et veldig godt forslag, Vedis. Jeg liker ikke å se sånne nye norske ord med "ikke-xxx-".
11 hrs
Yes  Per Bergvall: Jeg synes forslaget er godt. Det gjenspeiler kildetekstens feil, som er at disse ikke er workers. Et mer presist uttrykk ville vært motløse arbeidsledige, men det ville ha vært en dårligere oversettelse av hva som i utgangspuktet er et ullent uttrykk.

Yes  Bjørnar Magnussen: Jeg tenkte først dette ble for upresist, men referansen du oppgir, overbeviser meg.
