Answer Bank
Changes in technology and new workers joining the workforce have coñtributed to an overall upward trend in the unemployment rate.
It is very likely that an unemployment rate of 0% will never be observed.
The end of the 20th century saw some of the highest rates of unemployment in US history.
Unemployment generally remains stable and static over time,
The behavior of the unemployment rate is related to the business cycle.
What is the difference between the natural rate of unemployment vs. the full
employment rate of unemployment?
a) The natural rate of unemployment is the economy's long-run unemployme
rate in the absence of government intervention while the full employment
rate of unemployment is a policy preference initiated by Congress.
Ob) The natural rate of unemployment ranges between 5-6% unemployment
while the full employment rate of unemployment is lower, at about 4%.
c) Both the natural rate of unemployment and the full employment rate of
unemployment consist of the same 2 types of unemployment.
d) All of the above are true.
Q)The natural rate of unemployment is the frictional rate that exists in every economy when people move between jobs, and economists refer to full employment when the rate of unemployment is at the natural rate. The natural rate of unemployment in Europe is normally twice and at times three times that of the USA. Can you explain why?
