English term or phrase: discouraged workers

Definition from InfoUSA - U.S. Department of State:
Jobless people who are available for work but who are not actively seeking it because they think they have poor prospects of finding a job. Discouraged workers are not counted as part of the labor force or as being unemployed.

Example sentence(s):

As the number of unemployed workers in the labor force continues to decline, the focus on discouraged workers and other individuals marginally attached to the labor force has increased. The Heritage Foundation
As you can see, the worse the recession, the more workers get discouraged. The longer our current recession drags on, the further off the reported unemployment rate will be versus the true number that includes discouraged workers. The Atlantic Monthly Group
Other economists, however, argue that a distinction should be made between those discouraged workers who remain available for work and those who do not even want a job. Time Inc.

αποθαρρυμένοι εργαζόμενοι

Definition from express:
Το πραγματικό ποσοστό ανεργίας στις ΗΠΑ έχει φτάσει στο 16%, αν λάβει κανείς υπόψη του τούς "αποθαρρυμένους εργαζόμενους" και όσους δεν εργάζονται όπως θα ήθελαν, σύμφωνα με σημερινή δήλωση του Ντένις Λόκχαρτ, ενός υπεύθυνου της Αμερικανικής Κεντρικής Τράπεζας (Fed).

Example sentence(s):

Αν συμπεριληφθούν οι «αποθαρρυμένοι» εργαζόμενοι -εκείνοι που έχασαν τη θέση τους αλλά δεν έχουν καταγραφεί επισήμως ως άνεργοι- ο πραγματικός δείκτης μάλλον προσεγγίζει το 6%. - KATHIMERINI
