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.
The discouraged worker, believe it or not, is not included in the government's official unemployment number. They are, however, included in the U-6 unemployment figure, which is a broader measure of labor underutilization that includes those who have part-time jobs that would like full-time work, as well as marginally attached and discouraged workers.
