Actually discouraged workers have been declining since 2010, so a better answer would have been, just about none of them.If they had an attractive enough job opportunity they would start working.Huh? "Just about all of them?" What do you base that on?Oh? Of the people who have dropped out of the labor force, how many of them do you contend did so because they want to work but couldn't find a job?Starting in Jan. 20, 2001, at the beginning of George W. Bush’s administration, the rate was 2.4 percent, but by the time he left in January 2009 it had reached 7 percent. The rate now is 5.9% and is on track to get even lower.
The unemployment rate was never 2.4%, not even close.

The only reason that the rate is currently going "down" is because so many people dropped out of the labor workforce and are no longer looking for jobs. Only a liberal hack would gloat about such an "accomplishment".
Just about all of them, why else do people drop out of the workforce? Bush had a healthy 65-66% his entire term. Obama has been dropping every month, now down to an all time low of 62.7%.
