	Tutor2u - Unemployment - Causes of Unemployment
		Cyclical unemployment is involuntary unemployment due to a lack of aggregate demand for goods and services.
		Frictional unemployment is transitional unemployment due to people moving between jobs: For example, newly redundant workers or workers entering the labour market (such as university graduates) may take time to find appropriate jobs at wage rates they are prepared to accept.
		Structural unemployment occurs when people are made unemployed because of capital-labour substitution (which reduces the demand for labour) or when there is a long run decline in demand in their particular industry.

	Unemployment types - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Structural unemployment may also be encouraged to rise by persistent cyclical unemployment: if an economy suffers from long-lasting low aggregate demand, it means that many of the unemployed become disheartened, while finding their skills (including job-searching skills) become "rusty" and obsolete.
		Hidden, or covered, unemployment is the unemployment of potential workers that is not reflected in official unemployment statistics, due to the way the statistics are collected.
		To Marxists, this kind of unemployment cannot be abolished without overthrowing capitalism as an economic system and replacing it with democratic socialism — or else by running capitalism using a fascist state, under which profitability is protected by the systematic use of direct force.

	Lecture 11. Oct. 2 - Ch. 7, part 2
		Frictional unemployment is an outcome of normal labor turnover -- that is, the movement of people into and out of the labor force and the creation and destruction of jobs in a dynamic economy are both sources of frictional unemployment.
		However, the duration of unemployment also tends to rise near the trough of a business cycle and decline during expansions (i.e., more of it is longer-term during the worst of a recession).
		In addition to the three types of unemployment described by Parkin, economists also distinguish seasonal unemployment -- the unemployment that results from seasonal changes in the demand for labor (as occurs in agriculture or tourism) or in the supply of labor (as with students in the summertime).

	Explaining European Unemployment
		Unemployment insurance is more generous than in the United States, both in terms of the replacement rate and of the length for which benefits are given.
		In many (but not all) countries the increase in unemployment in the 1970s was associated with a small further increase in the generosity of unemployment insurance, a small increase in employment protection, and an increase in the tax wedge.
		In most countries, the main proximate cause of the increase in unemployment in the 1970s and the early 1980s was indeed a series of adverse "labor supply shifts," that is a series of steady increases in wages given unemployment and the level of technology.

	Introduction to Macroeconomics Chapter 19
		Frictional and structural unemployment are two types of unemployment that always exist in an economy and thus prevent the unemployment rate from ever reaching zero.
		Cyclical unemployment is generally considered the most important and the one on which our macroeconomic models are focused.
		Because frictional and structural unemployment cannot be directly measured, the natural rate of unemployment is a theoretical concept that is often defined as the rate at which increases in aggregate demand for output leads mostly to higher prices and wages rather than output and employment.

		Another cost for the unemployed is that the combination of unemployment, lack of financial resources, and social responsibilities may push unemployed workers to take jobs that do not fit their skills or allow them to use their talents.
		Alternatively, this "law" says that as unemployment rises by one percentage point, say from 5% to 6% of the civilian labor force, the percentage of potential output that could have been produced but was not rises by about two points.
		Voluntary unemployment is blamed on the individual unemployed workers (and their decisions), whereas involuntary unemployment exists because of the socio-economic environment (including the market structure and the level of aggregate demand) in which individuals operate.

	SparkNotes: Measuring the Economy 2: Unemployment
		When a member of a family is unemployed, the family feels it in lost income and a reduced standard of living.
		This type of unemployment is called cyclical unemployment because it is attributable to changes in output due to the cycles of the economy.
		The unemployment rate is the ratio of the unemployed to the total labor force or (5 / 25) = 20%.

	The Idea of "Unemployment": Cyclical, Frictional, and Structural (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		A person is said to be "unemployed" if he or she is looking for work, is willing to work at the prevailing wage, but is unable to find a job.
		Other reasons for lower natural unemployment rate today are: baby-boomers reached the age of maximum employment; new welfare laws put tighter work requirements on transfer recipients; and the increased prison population absorbed individuals who would otherwise have higher probability of unemployment.
		If the unemployment rate stays the same relative to the previous year, real GDP in a year grows by around 2.5% per year; this is the normal long-run growth rate of the economy (or natural rate of growth) due to population growth, capital accumulation and technological progress.

		Cyclical unemployment is not a desirable type of unemployment.
		Remember however that the unemployment rate along with other indicators is often used to judge the performance of the economy.
		In this case we would have the unemployment rate falling, giving the impression that the economy is improving when in fact it is not.

		Figure 6 shows unemployment in the period after World War II into the 1990's, based on data from the Economic Report of the President.
		The decline in the demand for labor leads (perhaps temporarily) to an increase in unemployment, as measured by the standard statistics.
		In the excess-supply interpretation, cyclical unemployment in particular is thought of as excess supply of labor.

	Unemployment in the Industrial Countries
		Economists estimate that the rate of output foregone because of unemployment is, on average, equal to the unemployment rate.
		Cyclical unemployment results from a temporary fall in economic activity, while structural unemployment is caused by shifts in final demand and technological change that create a mismatch between available and demanded skills.
		For a person to be counted as unemployed, three conditions must be satisfied: (1) the worker is not working, (2) is actively seeking work and (3) is available for work.

	Unemployment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Also, a small amount of frictional unemployment allows employers to find the employees most suited to the jobs offered, while allowing workers to find the jobs that better fit their tastes, talents, and needs.
		Unemployment may thus promote labor productivity and profitability.
		Note: from March 1, 2005 unemployment statistics were be derived from three sources, the Current Population Survey, a statewide survey of businesses known as the Current Employment Statistics Survey, and state unemployment insurance claims.

		Frictional unemployment is due to workers searching for new jobs or waiting to take new jobs; this type of unemployment is generally desirable.
		Structural unemployment is due to the changes in technology and in the types of goods and services consumers wish to buy; these changes affect the total demand for labor in particular industries or regions.
		Because some frictional and structural unemployment is unavoidable the full-employment unemployment rate (the natural rate of unemployment) is the sum of frictional and structural unemployment is achieved when cyclical unemployment is zero (the real output of the economy is equal to its potential output) and is about 5.5% of the labor force.

	To Grow out of Unemployment
		A second, more philosophical issue, is that, as opposed to frictional unemployment, which is a welcome sign, structural unemployment is not and must be fiercely fought by the state.
		By certain measures and theoretic formulas, the structural unemployment in Macedonia should be circa 9%, the frictional unemployment (the business cycle is turning up strongly so cyclical unemployment is bound to go down) contributing another 5%.
		But this rate of unemployment can be achieved only with the right policy decisions on the state level – and the right management cadre to take advantage of these decisions and of the thrilling new vistas of the global market scene.

		If you look at the past behaviour of unemployment in the explanation section, you can clearly see its cyclical nature.
		Most other seasonal unemployment is less severe than this, and tends to occur in certain industries.

		They reason that if unemployment is thought of as a measure of "misery," then the knowledge of the duration of unemployment is equally as important as the level.
		For example, if the unemployment rate is 7 percent but few people are ever unemployed for more than a week, that is much less of a problem than a 5 percent rate if most of those unemployed have been so for more than a year.
		Accordingly, it is suggested that the unemployment rates experienced by different groups (whites, fls, males, females, etc.,) during the mid 50's would be applied to the number of people in these groups now to determine the appropriate value for "full employment" currently.
