Why is Canada%26#039;s unemployment rate higher than Norway%26#039;s? loan
Because Norway has the lowest unemployment rate ever? It was 1,7 % in January and February. It is actually a problem that the unemployment rate is so low; recruiters can%26#039;t find qualified persons for the jobs.
I don%26#039;t mean that fake made up figure the Government puts out to make the republicans look good.
What is the real unemployment rate?bridge loan
You know the old joke about the three accountants at the job interview? They ask the first one what is two and two - he says %26quot;4%26quot; and they say %26quot;thank you%26quot;; they ask the next one - he says %26quot;22%26quot; and they say %26quot;thank you%26quot;; they ask the last one and he says %26quot;what do you want it to be%26quot; and they hire him.
The rate they use is based on the number of people collecting unemployment. As you know, many unemployed persons cannot collect unemployment. People looking for their first job, those who were illegally employed or employed less than six months and cannot find work, those who quit, who have been looking for over 78 weeks, those who were fired for a reason, those who left due to illness, those who don%26#039;t comply with all the little rules regarding availability and active search, the disabled and those who were not employed for 30 days at their previous employer aren%26#039;t counted. It also doesn%26#039;t count underemployment and those whose spouses work or have money and just don%26#039;t want to go through the hassle,
I am not a statistician and don%26#039;t want to do the research, but I%26#039;ll guess that you must multiply the jobless claim rate by two. This is because in times of high unemployment, more people will look for more than 78 weeks and drop off the radar.
Still, our unemployment rate is historically low, so there are at least 12 million illegal aliens and at least that number of others working %26#039;off the record%26#039;

I dont see how these numbers are fake when theres multiple reports that have these but we all know the media is republican right? HA|||its a true 9 percent.. im on the front lines, im in sales, i hear it all..|||The statistics are misleading. If you don%26#039;t get a job in a certain amount of time or your unemployment benefits expire, you are removed from the official unemployment list.
But you%26#039;re still out of work. Except to the statisticians.|||Well one example of how wrong the official unemployment figure is that once you are unemployed for over 6months you are considered unemployable, therefore not a part of the unemployment statistic, also if you just entered the age to get a job and haven%26#039;t found one yet, or if you can only find a temporary/part-time job, etc.
I%26#039;d say around 10% as a figure of real unemployment.
Sadly, I think the scariest part is that our household incomes are 1.3% less than they were 30years ago after factoring in inflation except now we have 2 adults bringing in a household income (not just one.) Woohoo for voodoo economics!|||It is not the Republicans, it is the unemployment number for public consumption, approved by the govment, and it is total BS. The number is always much higher. The program is XX weeks of unemployment compensation and when it ends abra-cadabra you are no longer unemployed. It is assumed you have been employed whether correct or not. You are simply not counted anymore.
The whole program should be trashed. How many people do you know that wait till the very end of the %26quot;unemployment compensation%26quot; period and then and only then, start looking for a job, content to hang out and get paid to do nothing?
I know plenty and they are just moochin. Not all, of course, but many, if not the majority, walk this program down.|||It doesn%26#039;t matter they used the same method when Bill was in office and his nimbers were higher...|||the number is much lower than it was during Clinton%26#039;s years. If you studied the subject you would know that there will always be unemployment. People will always be getting fired, wuitting, moving, companies closing, etc..... so there is always a percentage of people out of work. That being considered unemployment is very low and has been for most of Bush%26#039;s terms.
Sorry that it doesn%26#039;t fit with your agenda|||The fake figure the government puts out to make any administration look good!!! The present government isn%26#039;t made up of just Republicans!!

The facts and figures published by the federals, are put together in many offices, consisting of republicans, Democrats, independents, pagans, smurfs, leprechauns, chupacabra, aliens, and Presbyterians!!!|||Well first, the number of people collecting unemployment benefits, is not used to calculate the national unemployment rate.
That people no longer collecting benefits are not counted, is the biggest internet myth out there.
There is a simple reason, they do not use unemployment benefits to calculate the unemployment rate.
Most people do not qualify for unemployment benefits.
IE: if you quit or get fired for cause, you don%26#039;t qualify.
In some states like Florida, only 26% qualify.
The number of unemployed persons in the United States and the national unemployment rate are produced from data collected in the Current Population Survey (CPS), a monthly survey of over 60,000 households.
It is and has never been an actual hard number.
The labor force is to fluid to ever have hard numbers.
IE: people leave jobs, change jobs and start new jobs at to great a rate, to ever be accuractly measured.
But the published rates, are a good bell weather, that show the trend in unemployment.
IE: is it going up or down.
PS: the unemployment rate, has been calculated he exact same way, since the 1970%26#039;s.
So its not a republican/democratic thing.
The link to the Labor Department web page, that tells exactly how tey calculate the unemployment rate, is posted below.|||If you took a look, you would discover the Republican Party is a party of small businesses. You would also discover the Democratic Party is the party of Big Business.
===================
I think I agree.. the figures have been diddled with.
The need to continue the high school education is one of the largest reasons for unemployment, or more precisely, underemployment. Many young adults of this age group also lack skills, so their first employer is committing to train them in the basics.
Why is unemployment rate higher amoung the 15-19years and what can be done to improve this situation?no fax loan
I think it%26#039;s low because that age group typically doesn%26#039;t need to work to survive so most of them choose to be unemployed.
It is unlikely to survive without a job right ?

Is the unemployment rate dropping because people find jobs or because unemployed people leave the country ? loan
It%26#039;s because companies hire people from other countries. Microsoft and IBM hire engineers form India.|||R is dead wrong. The unemployment rate is simply the number of people actively looking for work divided by the total labor force (people working or actively looking for work). My source is the Bureau of Labor Statistics, to which I%26#039;ve linked to below. The method used is described here ftp://ftp.bls.gov/pub/news.release/jec.t... and is a combination of household surveys and business surveys.
The rate has gone down over the last 4 years because almost 7 million people have found work. The rate has gone up slightly lately because more people are entering or re-entering the labor force even though many people are finding work.|||Most of the unemployed are that way by choice. They either collect unemployment compensation or they%26#039;re already getting welfare or Social Security payments. The government can%26#039;t seem to get rid of all the food stamps every year.
Since the population of the US is steadily increasing, it can%26#039;t be that people are leaving the US for jobs overseas. The number of new jobs created in the last few years is almost 10 million. We%26#039;ve lost a few million factory jobs due to more efficient machinery. It%26#039;s a trade for a better economy that helps everyone and creates many times more new jobs.|||Unemployed people usually end up going to college or they start their own business in order to bring income.|||The US economy creates and destroys around 4 million jobs each and every quarter. The US economy is quite dynamic. Most states only keep track of those who have filed for unemployment benefits up until those benefits run out--then those people are no longer counted into any sort of statistic but not always. Plus, there%26#039;s several categories that the US dept. of Labor keeps track of so while the rate might be high in one area, like non-farm for example, it might be very low in another--so it really depends on which statistic you want to use.
So it comes down to which statistic you want to use--if there were no new jobs being created at all the rate would be very low just from people dying and moving out of the country. If there were mass layoffs in manufacturing the rate will go up but maybe there%26#039;s a boom in another industry like high tech jobs? For example right now my state, Michigan, is doing very poorly due to the ailing US auto industry. Move to another state and they are begging for workers.
So it all depends on many factors.
By those collecting unemployment. And also by certain censuses taken yearly. It%26#039;s a percentage of the total population.
How is unemployment rate measured?finance
Its based on the amount of money you are paid and how long you have been employeed.
How is unemployment rate measured? loan
the number of unemployed people divided by the number of employable people|||number of people actively seeking work divided by: (number of people who actually have jobs plus number of people actively seeking work)

How does unemployment rate impact the economic well being of the united states?military loans
Simply.
People who have jobs have money to spend.
When they spend money they creat jobs or keep others in their jobs.
If jobs are created, more people have money to spend and the economy grows.
People with jobs pay tax and help the economy to provide services that are %26quot;free%26quot;.
As unemployment grows the reverse occures. Less money -%26gt; spending -%26gt; less jobs etc.

when more poeple are unemployed then more people dont make money and get poor so they cant buy stuff and the economy goes down|||The higher the unemployment then there is less money spent in the economy (which will cause the Fed. to lower the interest rates or lower the value of the dollar to raise imports causing industries to make more and hire more people. Now the lower the unemployment rate can have a reverse condition to the feds and the stock market telling the fed to tighten the money (also by raising rates). It really is strange but as the saying goes unless you aren%26#039;t working then there seems to be no problems.|||generally, you want the unemployment rate to be low. (ours is around 4.5% right now, which is the ideal rate because this is about as low as it gets.) a lower unemployment rate means that a lot of working-age adults have paid jobs. the more paid jobs pple have, the more money they will spend on goods. this, in turn, creates more jobs because more goods have to be made to satisfy the demands of consumers. as more jobs are created, our country%26#039;s productivity level increases. pple earn more, they spend more and they also have to pay more in taxes. this generally creates a stronger, healthier economy.|||Tax dollars fund the unemployed. Tax dollars also are used to build homes for the unemployed. Building homes requires construction labor. Construction companies hire illegal workers to build said homes. Money paid to illegal workers is sent out of the country to fund the importation of more illegal persons.
When money leaves the community (especially the country), the economy suffers. This cycle is a downward spiral into a depression.
If the government would use tax dollars to put the unemployed into jobs rather than give them money and housing, there would be no need for illegal workers. Therefore, there would be much less money leaving the country. The end result would be a stronger economy.
(This of course was a very short version of a very complex problem, and it only focused on a few of the many contributing factors.)
That really isn%26#039;t enough information to elicite a good answer. 7% UR in the United States today would be horrible, but 7% in the Europe would be worthy of celebration.

Over 5% bad.
