Answer: d. They have not looked for work in the last 4 weeks, but would like a job and are available for work

Explanation: Hi, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, statement "d" is true.

Discouraged workers are people that aren't in the labor force who want to be a part of it by wanting a job. They are also available for work and looked for a job sometime in the last 12 months, but not in the last four weeks.

Because of not looking for a job in the last 4 weeks they are not considered as unemployed.
