Clarifications “Full-Employment Unemployment Rate” A.K.A. “Natural Rate of Unemployment” Full-Employment is achieved when there is zero CYCLICAL unemployment There is always some degree of Structural and Frictional Unemployment! So, even if the Natural rate of unemployment is 4%, if there is currently zero cyclical unemployment, then the economy is said to be “fully-employed.”

Delaware unemployment rate: August of 2001 through August of 2010 Year-beginning in

Delaware Unemployment Data as of August 2010 Civilian Labor Force: 422,700 Employed persons: 386,800 Unemployed persons: 35,300 Unemployment Rate: (Unemployed persons / Civilian labor force) X 100 = 8.35% Population of Delaware: 885,122 (2009 est.)

Economic Costs of Unemployment GDP Gap – the difference that exists between actual GDP and potential GDP as a result of fluctuations in unemployment and it’s effect on production.

Okun’s Law Establishes a relationship between unemployment rate and GDP gap. “for every 1 percentage point which the actual unemployment rate exceeds the natural rate, a GDP gap of about 2 percent occurs.” NOT A TRUE LAW! Not accurate 100% of cases.
