Joe McDreamy has a full‑time job with Starving Artist Inc. and is in desperate need of a raise.

Explanation:

A discouraged worker can be defined as an individual who is not in the labor force, who is willing and capable to join it but has been unemployed since the last time that person had a job for more than 12 months and who has stopped looking for a job somewhere in the past 4 weeks.  

Discouraged workers are mainly those that cannot find a job suitable for their skills and who are not willing to secure a job where their skills would be underappreciated. Then, as Andy has given up looking for a job in the past 4 weeks and is not currently in the labor force, he can be considered a discouraged worker.
