A discouraged worker is someone who has given up looking for work and has left the labor market. The United States government does not treat discouraged workers as unemployed people because they are not actively looking for work. This creates some counterintuitive results when calculating the unemployment rate.
Duration matters: The longer someone was out of work, the more likely it is that they've quit looking. Of the total, 55 percent who were unemployed for more than two years fell into the category; 32 percent of those idle for 13 to 24 months and 34 percent out for seven to 12 months had quit as well.
