discouraged workers

In economics, discouraged workers is a person of legal employment age who is not actively seeking employment or who does not find employment after long-term unemployment. This is usually because an individual has given up looking or has had no success in finding a job, hence the term "discouraged". A discouraged worker is defined as a person not in the labor force who wants and is available for a job and who has looked for work sometime in the past 12 months (or since the end of his or her last job if a job was held within the past 12 months), but who is not currently looking because of real or perceived poor employment prospects.
The top five reasons for discouraged workers are the following:

1)The worker thinks no work is available.
2) The worker could not find work.
3) The worker lacks schooling or training.
4) The worker is viewed as too young or too old by the prospective employer.
5) The worker is the target of various types of discrimination.

Usually a male who likes to encourage weight gain in his partner through the consumption of food. Feeders differ from FAs... whilst an FA is attracted to big girls, a feeder gets turned on by making a thin girl fat....or a big girl even bigger.
