Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Discouraged workers are individuals who have given up on seeking work because they believe there are no job opportunities available for them. This applies to Andy's situation as he has stopped actively seeking work. Temporary workers are individuals who are employed on a temporary basis, adjunct workers are individuals who work part-time or for multiple employers, and McJob workers are those who work in low-paying or menial jobs. None of these categories apply to Andy's situation.
