How the Government

Measures Unemployment

Explanation:

When workers are unemployed, they, their families, and the country as a whole lose.

Workers and their families lose wages, and the country loses the goods or services that

could have been produced. In addition, the purchasing power of these workers is lost,

which can lead to unemployment for yet other workers.

Addressing the issue of unemployment requires information about the extent and nature

of the problem. How many people are unemployed? How did they become unemployed?

How long have they been unemployed? Are their numbers growing or declining? Are

they men or women? Are they young or old? Are they White, or Black, or Asian, or of

Hispanic ethnicity? How much education do they have? Are they concentrated in one

area of the country more than another? These statistics—together with other economic

data—can be used by policymakers to determine whether measures should be taken to

influence the future course of the economy or to aid those affected by joblessness
