Answer 1

Unemployment occurs when one does not have a job. In the financial world, the term is often short for unemployment rate, which is the percentage of employable people in a country’s workforce who are over the age of 16 and actively seeking work.

The formula for unemployment rate is:
Number of Unemployed/ Total Labor Force

How it works (Example):

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports unemployment in its Employment Situation report, which is released on the first Friday of each month at 8:30 a.m. EST. The report discloses the current unemployment rate, the change in the unemployment rate and other labor statistics. The report presents data for one week of the month, which always includes the 12th day of that month. The data in the report comes from surveys of more than 250 parts of the U.S. and from almost every major industry. Two surveys are conducted: the household survey, which interviews 60,000 households, and the establishment survey, which reviews data from 160,000 nonfarm businesses and agencies.

It is important to note that unemployment is different from not working. Some people may be in school full-time, working in the home, disabled or retired. They are not considered part of the labor force and therefore are not considered unemployed. Only people not working who are looking for work or waiting to return to a job are considered unemployed.

There are three kinds of unemployment. Frictional unemployment exists when a lack of information prevents workers and employers from becoming aware of each other. It is usually a side effect of the job-search process, and may increase when unemployment benefits are attractive enough to prolong job searches. Structural unemployment occurs when changing markets or new technologies make the skills of certain workers obsolete. Cyclical unemployment occurs when there is a general decline in business activity concurrent with a typical economic cycle.

There are four kinds of unemployed people, and it is important to note that not all unemployed people are unemployed because they lost their last job. Indeed, job losers are people who have been laid off or fired, either temporarily or permanently. However, job leavers are people who have voluntarily left their jobs, and the size of this group may actually indicate confidence in the strength of the economy. Re-entrants are people who left the labor force for a time and are now returning, such as parents who left to rear families or those who left to pursue additional schooling. New entrants are people seeking employment for the first time.

Some level of unemployment will always be present in an economy as industries expand and contract, as technological advances occur, as new generations enter the labor force, and as long as workers can voluntarily seek better opportunities. This is why most economists agree that there is a natural rate of unemployment in the economy (usually 4%-6%). This natural rate is most affected by the number of youthful workers in the labor force, who tend to experience more unemployment as they change jobs and move in and out of the labor force, and public policies that may discourage employment or the creation of jobs (such as a high minimum wage, high unemployment benefits, and low opportunity costs associated with laying off workers).
