The host of the podcast is facilitating their debate over saving incentives. The following dialogue represents a portion of the transcript of their discussion: Rina: I think it's safe to say that, in general, the savings rate of households in today's economy is much lower than it really needs to be to sustain an improvement in living standards. Musashi: I think a switch from the income tax to a consumption tax would bring growth in living standards. Rina: You really think households would change their saving behavior enough in response to this to make a difference? Because I don't.

Does it include discouraged workers? DEBORAH: Hi Amy, the conventional definition of the labor force excludes discouraged workers. This is because they gave up looking for jobs . Also, be sure not to mistake discouraged workers for part-time workers. The key difference is that the latter cannot find suitable full-time jobs . AMY: I think I understand it now, thank you.
