Unemployment
The unemployment rate is the share of the labour force that is willing and able to work but cannot find a job. It comes in several types with very different causes.
Key ideas
- Frictional: people between jobs. Structural: skills don't match available jobs.
- Cyclical unemployment rises during recessions.
- There's often a short-run trade-off between unemployment and inflation (the Phillips curve).
