If a person is out of a job for a certain amount of time, they come off the statistics. In other words, they are no longer considered unemployed.
Do you realize how the unemployment rate is calculated?signature loan
It%26#039;s measured by the number of people who are not employed and are seeking work. That can include someone who has been unemployed for a long period of time.
Do you realize how the unemployment rate is calculated? loan
Sorry but that%26#039;s rubbish.|||that not how it%26#039;s calculated|||People are unemployed if they are willing to do a job and are not able to find a job. If they are between jobs but still looking for a job they are unemployed. If they don%26#039;t look for a job, then they are no longer unemployed. They do not count in the labor force. It%26#039;s all economics.|||yes i do. no matter. apples to apples, they are low.|||Because they may be no longer considered part of the work force. The number is taken as a part of those who make up the work force, which isn%26#039;t everybody. Yes, I knew that.|||Sadly, that is true, the %26quot;stats%26quot; are gleaned from unemployment applications and recipients. After they have used up their eligibility, they are no longer included. Not to mention others who have never held employment enough to be eligible in the first place, or who elect to live off their friends/family and never apply.
But it is a rough estimate, perhaps the best measure that can be tracked.|||That sounds reasonable, one wouldn%26#039;t want to count retired people among those seeking jobs.|||That%26#039;s not true mate, they are consider %26quot;long term unemployed%26quot;. Although you may have heard something else that might be true. Sometimes the long term unemployed especially of older age are forced out of the labour market into early retirement (involuntarily) and in this case yes they are not considered unemployed any more (mind you this involuntariness is a debatable matter).|||%26quot;In economics, one who is willing to work at a prevailing wage rate yet is unable to find a paying job is considered to be unemployed. The unemployment rate is the number of unemployed workers divided by the total civilian labor force, which includes both the unemployed and those with jobs (all those willing and able to work for pay).
United States Bureau of Labor Statistics definitions
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) provides some definitions which are similar to, but not the same as, those of other countries.
The BLS counts employment and unemployment (of those over 16 years of age) using a sample survey of households.[2] In BLS definitions, people are considered employed if they did any work at all for pay or profit during the survey week. This includes not only regular full-time year-round employment but also all part-time and temporary work. Workers are also counted as %26quot;employed%26quot; if they have a job at which they did not work during the survey week because they were:
On vacation;
Ill;
Taking care of some other family or personal obligation (for example, due to child-care problems);
On maternity or paternity leave;
Involved in an industrial dispute (strike or lock-out); or
Prevented from working by bad weather.
Medical problems
Typically, employment and the labor force include only work done for monetary gain. Hence, a homemaker is neither part of the labor force nor unemployed. Nor are full-time students nor prisoners considered to be part of the labor force or unemployment.%26quot; (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unemploymen...
Less labor in an economy reduces the potential output.
More labor (decreased unemployment) increases the potential output of an economy.
Beware when doing this quantitatively, however, as labor has diminishing returns if not coupled with capital or tech progress.
Will a decrease in the unemployment rate cause a shift on a production possibilities curve/frontier?rate my
Hi,
Yes, because if unemployment is decreased, households has more income (they are working), a part of the income is saved and the other part is consumed for goods %26amp; services(increase in demand). When firms feel this increase in demand, they will increase their production (output), they will hire more, househols will consume more.....

How do I find the unemployment rate for a specific city? loan
I%26#039;d suggest checking out http://www.city-data.com/ it gives %26quot;most%26quot; information that is available, if not a little outdated.|||This is a difficult question but i think census can help u or the website of the municipality of the city you wish to know. But i always use google search or www.ask.com and believe i always get everything i want to know, try them maybe they will help you too.
I think what you want to know is what impact changes in these three factors have on the economy. The quick answer is nothing. These indicators really don%26#039;t impact the economy. They are indicators of the health of the economy and tell how well or badly it is doing. For instance, real GDP (which is nominal GDP adjusted for inflation) tells in real terms how the economy is growing. A healthy economy will see growth, and the US economy is considered to be growing healthily when it sees real GDP grow by 3.5% annually.
The unemployment rate is a bit of a deceitful statistic, as it can go down for several reasons, some good and some bad. If it goes down because more people are getting jobs because the economy is doing well, then it is a good thing. If it is going down because the economy is doing terribly and individuals decide to no longer look for work because they feel it is pointless, then it is a bad thing. This is called the discouraged worker effect.
The inflation rate tells how quickly prices are increasing in the economy. The Federal Reserve tries to target an inflation rate of about 2% annually. If the inflation rate increases too quickly, the purchasing power of individuals in the economy will be eroded, and thus it is indicative of an economy in trouble.
Hope this is what you were after.
Current impact that changes in real GDP, the unemployment rate, and the inflation rate as measured by the CPI?payment calculator
Please adjust the question. You need to add detail so that we can tell what you are asking.
GDP is the measure of the total economy
The unemployment rate is a measure of how many people are looking for work
CPI is the consumer price index, or the measure of inflation for real goods and services
Are you asking what factors impact these measures?
