Unemployment: Measurement and Types

To understand unemployment, we first need to define a few terms:

  • Labor Force: This includes all people 16 years or older who are either employed (working for pay) or unemployed (not working, but actively looking for work).
  • Not in the Labor Force: This includes people who are not employed and not actively looking for work, such as retirees, full-time students, stay-at-home parents, or discouraged workers.
  • Unemployment Rate: This is the percentage of the labor force that is unemployed.
