Why unemployment and inflation matters? As the nation goes through business cycles, it faces the problems of unemployment and inflation. Persistent unemployment can lead to poverty. During periods of inflation, wages buy less.

Unemployment Unemployment rate--percent of labor force jobless and looking for work Civilian labor force--people over 16 who are working, looking for work Bureau of Labor Statistics determines unemployment rate divides number of unemployed workers by total in civilian labor force does not count discouraged who have stopped looking or underemployed Underemployed--work part-time, want full-time or work below skill level

Full Employment Full employment--no unemployment caused by decreased economic activity Always some degree of unemployment: people relocate; look for better job; can't find appropriate job Unemployment rate of 4 to 6 percent considered full employment in U.S. other rates in countries with different labor markets, economic policies
