True. It's Monday, and I am surely one such discouraged worker.
However, (and I'm not talking about this board right now), I'm reading more and more tripe that attempts to bring out the definition of discouraged worker further and further, encompassing all those who wish they made more money, as well as all those who made unsupportable sums in the dot-com irrationality and aren't doing so now, and I get the feeling that if they can just define it so widely as to make quantification impossible, they can keep citing it without having to defend it.
