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.
If there is no employment reference available, look for someone who evaluated the prospect in another place, like school, a volunteer position or an internship. Friends and family members should not be accepted as references without a valid reason. character reference is rarely as revealing as an employment reference; applicants may list family, friends or other associates as personal references. Many people who give character references are personally connected to the prospect and may not give you the best insight into the real person you're hiring.
