People working 'under the table' and people who falsely report that they are actively searching for a job.
EU unemployment is 22% higher than US unemployment. This is calculated by taking the difference between the two percentages (10.4% - 8.5% = 1.9%), and then dividing that by the US unemployment rate (1.9% / 8.5% = 0.22, or 22%).
I assume you are referring to the fact that the unemployment rate reported by the government is the amount of people who are looking for jobs but unable to find them and suggesting that the "real" unemployment rate is how many people actually are not working. There are actually a few different measures for this, which are displayed neatly in a few graphs on the link I'm attaching. No one can say what the "real" unemployment rate is, mainly because of the way the unemployment rate is really calculated. The unemployment rate is the percentage of the American people who are drawing unemployment insurance. It doesn't include people whose unemployment insurance has run out, people who have removed themselves voluntarily from the employment pool (stay at home mothers, people living on trust funds, etc.) and people who haven't ever been employed. A rough estimate is to take the "unemployment rate" and double it.
According to the Federal Government (in the Related Link below) as of February 2010 there were 14.9 million unemployed, or 9.7% of the available work force. This figure is understated by the number not seeking unemployment benefits, who have given up looking for jobs, newly entered in the work force (i.e. graduated students, etc.), the retired, etc.
It is estimated that about 1% of the global population is homeless. However, the actual percentage varies by region and country.
The US Census recorded 520,116 residents in 2010.
Because of the difficulty in measuring quality improvements.
The Standard deviation is an absolute measure of risk while the coefficent of variation is a relative measure. The coefficent is more useful when using it in terms of more than one investment. The reason being that they have different returns on average which means the standard deviation may understate the actual risk or overstate depending.
9.2% (2009) That is the number the government would like you to believe. The actual unemployment rate in Syria is estimated between 25%-30% (2011)
Macroeconomic cost of unemployment
The current unemployment rate in India is around 8% as per CMIE. However, the ground reality is that the actual unemployment may be much more than what is shown in the report.
Cyclical unemployment rate = Actual rate - Natural rate of unemployment. if you don't have the Natural rate, then you might have Frictional & structural rate, which can be added together to get the natural one N= F+S
Suppose that natural rate of unemployment is 5%, and the actual rate of unemployment is 8.3% per current year. Determine the potential GDP, if: • Okun's coefficient -- 3, • actual GDP -- 1480 units.
When actual unemployment is at its natural rate, factors that contribute to the stability of the economy include steady economic growth, low inflation rates, balanced supply and demand in the labor market, and effective government policies to support economic stability.
The truth is always the best policy. Explain the actual reason for your unemployment and you might be surprised with the outcome. Lying about the reason may expose you to unemployment fraud (a felony in most states)
Assume certeris paribus, an expansionary gap is where real GDP is above the full employment, and a contractionary gap is where real GDP is below the full employment.
Potential output is the capacity to produce should all factors be employed in an economy. For example, it is the output should there be no unemployment, no spare labour and no spare capital. It is unlikely that actual output will be the same as potential ouput since there is always unemployment.
Right now the Greek people dont have Any jobs (actual unemployment of young (under 30) people : over 40%).
