The net discouraged worker effect of unemployment on labor force participation for two important labor force groups is shown to be smaller than estimates based on published aggregate Census data indicate. Our explanation of the relative magnitudes of estimates derived from cross-section and time series data in terms of aggregation bias seems to fit the case of married women better than that of married men.
