• They are full-time workers who would like to work only part-time.
  They have not looked for a job in 4 weeks (or longer), but they would like a job and are available for work.

  They are employed workers who want to earn higher wages.

Answer 1

The only correct statement is They have not looked for a job in 4 weeks (or longer), but they would like a job and are available for work.

A discouraged worker is a person who is not actively seeking employment or who has not found employment after long-term unemployment, but he would like a job and available for work. Since an individual has given up searching job hence he is knows as a discouraged worker.
