Kick off the New Year by joining ULI members for an exciting networking event featuring Guest Speaker Nick Clark!
Unemployment: Why is it different this time?
On the first Friday of each month the government announces the unemployment rate for the prior month. How does one go beyond the pronouncement of the unemployment rate to understand the dynamics that make up the unemployment rate? Is the Official Unemployment Rate all we need to know? Or can we better understand the economy by looking at other measurements of unemployment? Is the increase in the unemployment rate just a result of the cyclical nature of the business cycle, or are we facing structural changes in the nature of employment?
