Unemployment Issues in the United States Unemployment is one top issue that our government faces on a daily basis. Many people are being unemployed as we speak. Even though the government is trying to take a lead on this major issue, the rate of unemployment is just too high. Why I feel strongly about this issue is because many of us continue to search for jobs daily and still no reply. There are many reasons behind being unemployed and those reasons are little issues that the governor himself can fix within a year or so. We are still jobless, the minimum wage is too low and most of the jobs that pay well always ask if one Spanish. Searching for a job can be very stressful when someone is not the right candidate for the job they are applying for. Many Americans look for jobs each day and still no one will call them and say, “Hey Daphne you’re hired.’’ Being unemployed without a job can be a big stress when individuals have a family to feed and bills to pay. “With the unemployment rate falling to 5.3 percent, the lowest in seven years, policy makers are heaving a sigh of relief” (VentureBeat). Most of us are still jobless because nowadays they are replacing computers to do the work for them instead of hiring someone without a job. ‘’Robots have largely been seen as machines that perform routine, repetitive, cognitive actions. However, machines are already replicating human capabilities” (VentureBeat). For example, if anyone goes to Walmart and target they have self-check out
This policy explains the unemployment in Florida. It was effected on July 1, 2011. This lowers the employer’s taxes for different features through implementation The people that are obtained for unemployed can have 50% or more of their wages up to $275 a week and they also can get the payments to 26 weeks. Even if you have a part time jobs, you can still get a check for unemployment but the payments will we shorter a $1 until they earn eight times of federal minimum wage. One man in Tampa, Florida said that he was denied for unemployment help because of the bicycle accident. He was unable to work so he applied for unemployment he got denied the benefits because the applicants said he was able to work still even though he was injured.
In 1932, there were a major effect on unemployment because of the result of the great depression. The government gave million’s relief money but that wasn't enough for the people to survive with. Also there were a domino effect on the united states government because there wasn’t enough taxes getting paid and consumers spending was decreasing.The decrease in spending had caused a reduction in public money available for public services which caused a effect on closure of schools which caused teachers to be unemployed.
The problem of unemployment could be solved through the welfare system. Nationwide, we need to take a look at both unemployment, as well as underemployment. Underemployment plagues the U.S. and is extremely detrimental towards the overall health and well being of the economy as a whole, and for the economy of the individual.
In 2014, 14.8 percent of Americans lived in poverty (“Hunger”). This is a significant number that cannot be ignored. With this said, it is not surprising due to America’s economy, government, and selfish citizens. As a result, these 46.7 million struggling individuals are mentally unstable, kept from improving their social status, and stuck in an uncomfortable living situation. Until the causes are addressed, the effects will continue.
In an article by Huffington Post said that a poll was taken and 23% percent of the people said that unemployment is the hardest thing to face in America. (Goyette, 2014) With so many people being unemployed and needing to find money to support their families, they will do anything possible to get the money. Thats when the government comes into play with programs that these people will take advantage of. One of these programs is unemployment. Unemployment Insurance Program provides unemployment benefits to eligible workers who are unemployed through no fault of their own, and meet other eligibility requirements of State Law. (United States Department of Labor, 2014) This is program that is suppose to be used for someone who got laid off their job and needs money to support their needs till they get another job. In America their are people filling for unemployment and receiving money from the government and are basically living from check to check that they receive. Also instead of using that money for needs and trying to find a job they are buying alcohol and drugs and laying on the couch all day taking advantage of the government

With the United States population steadily growing larger in quantity, and the United States simultaneously losing employment opportunities leads to a seemingly dim future for today's youth. The unemployment rate for young people ages 14-24 have risen over the past years. Many young people lack the skills and resources to obtain employment, while older youth who graduate college have a difficult time obtaining a job, especially one in the field they attended school for because of the lack of graduate jobs available. Even though there are some programs that assist youth with obtaining a job temporarily such as the Summer Youth Employment Program in the New York State, this still is a significant issue that must be addressed. The negative effects that unemployment has on the youth is that they will lack the opportunity to gain work experience early to
Rates for the City for Census Tract 85 in the Bankhead Community are different by a large. The area is densely African American; however, there is no unemployment rate for White Americans in the area. Table IV shows how the 0.0% unemployment rate is consistent from year to year for White Americans (US Census Bureau, 2009, 2012, 2013 and 2014). On the other hand, African Americans had an unemployment rate of 15.6% in 2009 that continued to increase to 24.5% in 2012, and 35.0% in 2013 (US Census Bureau, 2009, 2012 and 2013). The unemployment rate in 2014 decreased by 1% for African Americans with 34.0% (US Census Bureau, 2014).
There are plenty of jobs available in the United States. The fact of the matter is, most are low paying jobs and people with years of work experience and college degrees are not willing to accept those jobs at first. The reality is most people have to start at the entry level and work their way up, unless they have good connections or it is a family owned business in which they do not have to worry about competing for promotions. Unemployment Rate in the United States averaged 5.82 percent from 1948 until
“A record of 94,708,000 Americans are not in the labor force as of May 2016.” CNS news took this information from the Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on June third 2016. This is an all time high for unemployment in the United States. The possible reason why so many Americans aren’t working could be due to the fact that the way money is distributed in America isn’t what they people think it is, and it isn’t even close to the ideal. Another reason why Americans aren’t working could be that a small portion of the U.S. owns a large portion of all the earnings, and the CEOs of companies are making a ridiculous amount more than their workers.
In any economy, no matter whether it is controlled by the government or by free markets, people need to work in order to support it. The government does not generate tax revenue by magic. There have to be people in that economy earning an income to ensure that the government continues to collect taxes. In a free market economy, the same applies because there are some services which only an organized government can supply (such as protection from extra-national threats), but there also those which the people get for themselves because of the working of the markets. In any scenario, unemployment is, at the very least, a drag on the economy, and it can be much worse. This paper examines how the unemployment rate in the United States is underreported, and how that fact effects the sluggishness of the present economy.
The U.S. employment rate has fallen, resulting in the addition of 173000 jobs, which is below expectations. This is mostly due to people searching for jobs or giving up on doing so. This, along with a jittery stock market and uneven growth, has created doubt in the U.S. economy’s ability to handle a rate increase. Inflation and economic growth also contributes to the unemployment rate in the U.S.
The unemployment turnover view has a strong base on the contemporary thinking about unemployment in the entire United States. Joblessness or unemployment takes place when an individual searches for another new job and devotes most of time searching for another job. Moreover, unemployment comes into being if an individual goes in search of a new employment after being out of labor force for a long time. The individuals in search of employment get employed in monthly duration in a range of 10% to 40%. The unemployment varies directly with separation rate and varies indirectly with the rate of searching for a job.

Money is essential to any individual looking to have a decent lifestyle; labor is the avenue through which this is acquired. The economy goes through various fluctuations in activity causing unemployment to fall, rise, or level out. What this creates is the first type of unemployment, known as cyclical; frictional is the second type, caused by a temporary leave (for whatever reason) by the employee, and structural is the third type, varying with the economic changes in demand. The absence of unemployment at its maximum level is termed full employment, another version of unemployment. The term encompassing the sum of the frictional, structural, and, yet another type of unemployment, surplus unemployment is that of the natural rate of
