- The unemployment rate is essentially the number of unemployed individuals divided by the number of people in the labor force, multiplied by 100.
- how do they determine how much people is unemployed in the labor force? is it just everyone who's not working?
- Not everyone who is out of work is unemployed. In order to be counted as unemployed you have to be out of work, looking for work, and able to accept a job if one is offered to you. If you are out of work and not looking, then you are considered “not in the labor force” rather than unemployed.

- This unemployment really came at the wrong time I don't know why everything in the store is rising in price now I can't even afford milk anymore
- that's because of inflation, inflation affects your purchasing power as it decreases the amount of goods or services you would be able to purchase

What we're experiencing right now is called a demand pull inflation it occurs when product and services prices are pulled up by consumer demand trying to buy less popular substitutes might be a good option to keep your grocery costs low

- sorry to hear that, unemployment rate has been spiking lately all because of this virus you wanna go on a walk and maybe have a talk?
- I also heard that there are different types of unemployment?
- Yea so there are 4 main types of unemployment, seasonal, structural, cyclical and frictional each represent different types of unemployment, in your case you would be an example of cyclical since you lost your job due to the pandemic which was a economic down turn in the business cycle
- It can also lead to problems like increased cost in financial programs like employment insurance and also decreased tax revenue as people have less money to spend. When poverty rises crimes also rise leading to social unrest.
