WASHINGTON  After a full year of fruitless job hunting, Natasha Baebler 
just gave up.She'd already abandoned hope of getting work in her field, 
working with the disabled. But she couldn't land anything else, either  
not even a job interview at a telephone call center.Until she feels 
confident enough to send out resumes again, she'll get by on food 
stamps and disability checks from Social Security and live with her parents 
in St. Louis."I'm not proud of it," says Baebler, who is in 
her mid-30s and is blind. "The only way I'm able to sustain 
any semblance of self-preservation is to rely on government programs that 
I have no desire to be on."Baebler's frustrating experience has become all 
too common nearly four years after the Great Recession ended: Many Americans 
are still so discouraged that they've given up on the job market.Older 
Americans have retired early. Younger ones have enrolled in school. Others 
have suspended their job hunt until the employment landscape brightens. 
Some, like Baebler, are collecting disability checks.It isn't supposed to 
be this way. After a recession, an improving economy is supposed to 
bring people back into the job market.Instead, the number of Americans in 
the labor force  those who have a job or are looking

there are in close touch with each other."Indonesia's foreign affairs ministry 
said it was considering a plan to evacuate its diplomats. A statement 
released by the ministry on Saturday said that its embassy in Pyongyang 
has been preparing a contingency plan to anticipate the worst-case scenario, 
and that the Indonesian foreign minister is communicating with the staff 
there to monitor the situation.India also said it was monitoring events. 
"We have been informed about it," said Syed Akbaruddin, spokesman for India's 
external affairs ministry. "We are in constant touch with our embassy and 
are monitoring the situation. We will carefully consider all aspects and 
decide well in time."Seoul and Washington, which lack diplomatic relations 
with the North, are taking the threats seriously, though they say they 
have seen no signs that Pyongyang is preparing for a large-scale attack.Kim 
Jang-soo said the North would face "severalfold damages" for any hostilities. 
Since 2010, when attacks Seoul blames on North Korea killed 50 people, 
South Korea has vowed to aggressively respond to any future attack.South 
Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Jung Seung-jo had planned to 
meet with his U.S. counterpart, Gen. Martin Dempsey, in Washington on April 
16 for regular talks. But tensions on the Korean Peninsula are so 
high that Jung cannot take a long trip away from South K
