Full employment doesn't mean that there is zero unemployment. Full employment only means that the economy is operating at full employment because there is only structural unemployment, frictional unemployment, and seasonal unemployment. Remaining unemployment is cyclical.

Even when an economy is working properly, it will experience frictional, seasonal, and structural unemployment. (gp)

Why isn't full employment the same as zero unemployment?

Full employment and zero unemployment are not the same because full employment refers to a situation where all individuals who are willing and able to work are employed, while zero unemployment would mean that there are absolutely no individuals without a job. In reality, there may always be some level of unemployment due to factors such as frictional unemployment (people transitioning between jobs) or structural unemployment (mismatch between skills and available jobs).


If the price level rises and the money wage rate rises by the same percentage what happens to the quantity of real GDP supplied?

When the price level and the money wage rate change by the same percentage, the real wage rate remains constant at its full employment equilibrium level so employment remains constant and real GDP remains constant at "potential GDP" which is the quantity of real GDP at full employment.


What happens when supply increases?

Can you work in Arizona full time and collect unemployment in Illinois?

It might be possible. It's almost certainly illegal, though.Normally you can work and collect unemployment at the same time, though your unemployment benefits will be reduced somewhat. This is intended to cover people who are employed only part time and are looking for (and previously had) full time work. So you can take a job that only gives you two days a week without completely losing your unemployment benefits for the other three days.However, if you're working full time in Arizona, clearly you aren't looking for full time employment in Illinois. I mean, you might PREFER full time employment in Illinois, but you really aren't in the kind of situation unemployment insurance was designed to cover, since one of the things you have to verify every two weeks when you turn in your unemployment forms is that you were a) looking for work and b) available for work on the days you're claiming to be unemployed. A person in the situation MIGHT fit a, but certainly wouldn't fit b (they couldn't work in Illinois on those days, because they were already working in Arizona on those days). It would be sort of like saying "I'm working full time as a waiter, but I really want to be a movie star, so I should get unemployment too."
