Discouraged workers are those who have given up looking for work and are not actively seeking employment. They are considered "out of the labor force" and not included in the official count of unemployed. This means the unemployment rate is lower than it would be if these discouraged workers were counted as unemployed, which can give the appearance that the economy is stronger than it actually is in terms of employment.

Explanation:
Discouraged workers are those who are not currently looking for work because they believe no jobs are available for them. They are not considered to be part of the labor force, which means they are not counted as either employed or unemployed in official statistics.

The unemployment rate is calculated as the number of unemployed people divided by the labor force. Since discouraged workers are not included in the labor force, they are not included in the numerator (unemployed) or the denominator (labor force) of this calculation.

This exclusion of discouraged workers from the labor force has the effect of understating the true level of unemployment in the economy. In other words, the official unemployment rate is lower than it would be if discouraged workers were included. This can make the economy appear stronger than it actually is, because the official unemployment rate does not fully reflect the number of people who are unable to find work.

Therefore, the correct answer is A: "Discouraged workers are counted as 'out of the labor force' thus the unemployment rate is understated making the economy look stronger than it is."		 A
