How should unemployment be reduced?

- For a country, economists have estimated that structural unemployment is 2.0% and frictional unemployment is 3.0%. If total unemployment is currently 4.0%, this suggests that: a) The economy is in a recessionary gap, with actual output greater than potential output. b) The economy is in an inflationary gap, with actual output greater than potential output. c) There is no output gap, and actual output is equal to potential output. d) The economy is in a recessionary gap, with actual output less than potential output. e) The economy is in an inflationary gap, with actual output less than potential output.arrow_forwardDuring 2007 and 2008, housing prices fell sharply.

What is this reason? People feel worse about the economy because they want to be in the top 1% or top 10% of the income ladder; expectations of wealth and status are so high that people are disappointed by their unrealistic expectations The fact that wages have been stagnant for forty years does little to offset these wage increases and people's ability to find affordable housing and finance their education. People will complain no matter what is happening with the economy so it's best to ignore them and look at the economic data. Even though wages are up, the fact that inflation is still high makes it difficult for many people to feel like they are doing well financially.arrow_forward
