Question

Although the unemployment rate is the single best indicator of how well the labor market is working, we discussed in class that it is considered incomplete because it: does not count discouraged workers. does not measure how well people are matched to their jobs. counts part-time workers who would like to work full time as fully employed.

Answer 1

The unemployment rate is not considered to be a complete measure because it does not count discouraged workers.

How is the unemployment rate calculated?

The unemployment rate includes only people who are still actively searching for work and they have to be in the labor force.

People who have looked for jobs for a while and then got discouraged and given up, are not counted as unemployed which therefore depresses the unemployment rate.
