2 years agoWhy do you think 5% unemployment is considered “full” employment?
I’ve sometimes seen it written as 3%, but generally that’s included to provide a more accurate estimate of overall employment. It represents the people who are currently between jobs and are actively searching for a new one. I probably would have been included in that stat when I left an abusive employer and searched until I found my current one.
It isn’t some kind of capitalist conspiracy.
My dad had the rare chance to name his position whatever he wanted, but the higher ups still rejected his choice of Grand Poobah.
