Once you send your scores, it will take about 10-15 days to reach the schools you're applying to :)
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.
People who do piecework in their homes are also classified as statutory employees for tax purposes. When someone is considered a statutory employee, the employer treats the person like a regular employee, paying taxes on that employee's wages and withholding for tax agencies.
