The Increase Of A High Unemployment Rate

In any economy, no matter whether it is controlled by the government or by free markets, people need to work in order to support it. The government does not generate tax revenue by magic. There have to be people in that economy earning an income to ensure that the government continues to collect taxes. In a free market economy, the same applies because there are some services which only an organized government can supply (such as protection from extra-national threats), but there also those which the people get for themselves because of the working of the markets. In any scenario, unemployment is, at the very least, a drag on the economy, and it can be much worse. This paper examines how the unemployment rate in the United States is underreported, and how that fact effects the sluggishness of the present economy.

Wayne W. Dyer, an American philosopher once said, “Love what you do; Do what you love”. By thinking in these words and looking for all these people who are working simple or low-income jobs, I asked myself two questions. Do all these people really love what they are doing? Or are they working these kinds of jobs just to survive? Barbara Ehrenreich, an American author answers these questions in her book, Nickel and Dimed by showing her “experiment” as she called as a worker with low income and explains how the laborers’ lives look like. That can be explained by Hannah Arendt ideas “Labor, Work, Action” from her book “The Human Condition”. Although Ehrenreich never mentions Arendt in her book, she demonstrates Arendt’s ideas about Labor is necessity

Unemployment Issues in the United States Unemployment is one top issue that our government faces on a daily basis. Many people are being unemployed as we speak. Even though the government is trying to take a lead on this major issue, the rate of unemployment is just too high. Why I feel strongly about this issue is because many of us continue to search for jobs daily and still no reply. There are many reasons behind being unemployed and those reasons are little issues that the governor himself can fix within a year or so. We are still jobless, the minimum wage is too low and most of the jobs that pay well always ask if one Spanish.

It has been said that we live in an era where people are looking for more increasing on everything, and they look for the increasing every single day. One of the most political issues that are noticeable in 2014 is the idea of the increasing of minimum wage. An article that was written by a group of journalists in the Governing the State and Localities discusses this issue. They say that President Obama talked about increasing the minimum wage. The minimum wage is 7.5, and he wants to increase this number to be around 9 dollars. There is no doubt this news could bring a lot of happiness to huge number of people, and at the same time, it would rise up some social or economic problems. Although this news about increasing of the minimum wage

Not only are workers oppressed, but because of false consciousness they think that the more they work, the more they achieve; when in reality, working towards prosperity leads to less time to enjoy what they worked for. This false consciousness prevents people from seeing that they cannot truly achieve the “American Dream” because of the nature of their social and economical situation.

The United States is full of amazing things, historic landmarks, pizza, Nascar and countless other things that help set our nation apart. However there is one thing that our nation shares with every other nation in the world that isn’t so great, in fact many people would agree it is one of the worst things for a nation to have. No it’s not smallpox, it’s unemployment. Unemployment is unfortunately something a nation cannot vaccinate against. Sadly nations are always going to experience unemployment, and in some cases it can be a real issue. No one likes to hear about high rates of unemployment just like no one wants to catch a case of smallpox. Yet similar to how many people know little about the disease smallpox few people know much more about unemployment other than the current rate of unemployment. There are many factors that make up unemployment and influence it. This financial report will focus all about unemployment.

In “A World without Work,” Derek Thompson argues that in the near future, technology will remove the need for the American workforce, thus causing a major problem in the

Productivity is Essential Robin Hood is a cartoon figure in America that steals from the rich and gives to the poor. A good idea, right? Well, how about if the rich work for everything that they have and the poor rely on the rich and do not do anything to earn their keep? Robin Hood just became a very evil man. Atlas Shrugged written by Ayn Rand in 1957 expresses ideas that are becoming more and more true in today’s lazy society.

In 1932, there were a major effect on unemployment because of the result of the great depression. The government gave million’s relief money but that wasn't enough for the people to survive with. Also there were a domino effect on the united states government because there wasn’t enough taxes getting paid and consumers spending was decreasing.The decrease in spending had caused a reduction in public money available for public services which caused a effect on closure of schools which caused teachers to be unemployed.

The national unemployment rate in the United States from December 2015 is 5.0 percent, which has reduced from the previous months in 2015. The unemployment rates for Whites are 4.5 percent, which is lower than the national average. But sadly the unemployment rates for minorities are much higher. According to bls.gov the rate for unemployment for African Americans is 8.3 percent; although this number is the lowest it has been since 2007, theirs is still higher than the national average. The unemployment rate for Mexican-Americans (Hispanics) is 6.3 percent and for Asian Americans is 4.0 percent. This shows that overall African-Americans still have higher unemployment than every other demographic since December 2016.

The year 2013 was the year that the United States was to prevail and work towards the expectations to increase hiring for the US people. The only problem was that the employment rate barely budged from 3 years leading up to 2013. The goal for the US is to improve its employment rate from the recession period that put a lot of people out of work and as well put a huge dent in the US economy that we are still trying to overcome. The US population grows about 200,000 people a month in a 12 month span, and with the US economy adds only 173,000 jobs a month. Now, with that a quarter of the population is without a job which is a complete slowdown in hiring. Federal budget cuts, banks being on edge with Wall Street, and slow growth in the countries of China and Europe have hurt international trade, and these are only a few factors that hurt the hiring process in 2013.

In this article, Samuelson exposes with facts how unemployment rates had increased during the recession and why it kept increasing. At the beginning he gave us a brief history about how Labor Day became an American holiday and why in 2009 Americans should not celebrate it due to the high unemployment level caused by the recession.

The relationship between inflation and unemployment is a topic, which has been debated by economists for decades. It is this debate that has made the opinions about it evolve. In this essay, the controversial topic will be discussed by viewing different economists’ opinions on that according to time sequencing.

The division of labour ensures that each worker only does one job, and the labour market decides which job any particular worker will do. During labour, the worker uses capital not under his own control. The capital available determines the nature of the work. On top of all this, the worker has no choice but to work, as wages are needed to provide the worker's means to life. Work is seen to be 'not voluntary, but forced' (3). This shows that in a capitalist society, the worker is separated from the decisions of whether or not to work, what the work will be, and what form the work will take. This alienation of labour is the separation of man from his life-activity.

Money is essential to any individual looking to have a decent lifestyle; labor is the avenue through which this is acquired. The economy goes through various fluctuations in activity causing unemployment to fall, rise, or level out. What this creates is the first type of unemployment, known as cyclical; frictional is the second type, caused by a temporary leave (for whatever reason) by the employee, and structural is the third type, varying with the economic changes in demand. The absence of unemployment at its maximum level is termed full employment, another version of unemployment. The term encompassing the sum of the frictional, structural, and, yet another type of unemployment, surplus unemployment is that of the natural rate of
