Important Details• Discourages workers are those who want to work but do not
search a job any more. They are not counted as unemployed. In 2009, US had 13.5 million unemployed workers and 2.1 discouraged workers.
• Underemployment: If a worker works in a job far below her capacity. She will be counted as employed.
• Because of these two factors, the unemployment situation is much worse than what the statistics tell us.

More on labour market flows
• The size of these flows is surprisingly high.• In 1999 unemployment in the UK began at
1.29 million.• During the year:
– 3.14 million became unemployed– but 3.3 million left the ranks of the
unemployed.

Types of unemployment• Frictional
– the irreducible minimum level of unemployment in a dynamic society
• people between jobs• the ‘almost unemployable’
• Structural– unemployment arising from a mismatch of skills and
job opportunities when the pattern of demand and production changes
• it takes time for ex-coal miners to retrain as international bankers

Types of unemployment (2)• Demand-deficient unemployment
– occurs when output is below full capacity– ‘Keynesian’ unemployment occurs in the
transitional period before wages and prices have fully adjusted
• Classical unemployment– created when the wage is deliberately
maintained above the level at which labour supply and labour demand schedules intersect
![Page 20: © The McGraw-Hill Companies, 2008 Chapter 27 Unemployment David Begg, Stanley Fischer and Rudiger Dornbusch, Economics, 9th Edition, McGraw-Hill, 2008](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050800/5a4d1b607f8b9ab0599ad091/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

A ‘modern’ view of unemployment
• A similar categorisation is retained, but an important distinction is to be noted between:
• Voluntary unemployment– when a worker chooses not to accept a job
at the going wage rate.• Involuntary unemployment
– when a worker would be willing to accept a job at the going wage but cannot get an offer.
![Page 21: © The McGraw-Hill Companies, 2008 Chapter 27 Unemployment David Begg, Stanley Fischer and Rudiger Dornbusch, Economics, 9th Edition, McGraw-Hill, 2008](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050800/5a4d1b607f8b9ab0599ad091/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

The natural rate of unemployment
• The natural rate of unemployment is the rate of unemployment when the labour market is in equilibrium.
• This is entirely voluntary.• It includes:
– frictional unemployment– structural unemployment

Supply-side economics
• entails the use of microeconomic incentives to alter – the level of full employment– the level of potential output– the natural rate of unemployment.
• In the long run the performance of the economy can only be changed by affecting the level of full employment and the corresponding level of potential output.

Other supply-side policies• Trade union reform
– reducing the power of trade unions may limit distortions in the labour market
• Other labour supply policies– training and retraining measures– improving the efficiency of the labour market
• such measures may affect frictional and structural unemployment• Investment
– higher investment may increase the demand for labour• may be achieved via tax incentives or low interest rates
