why is the natural rate of unemployment always positive?

Because it is expressed as a percentage of the entire working population.  If we have 7% UNemployment we also have 93% employment.  A negative UNemployment number would not fit with the maxim of 100%.  \n\nSee how the math doesn't work with a negative?\n\n-7% + X% = 100%\nX = 107%

The government’s average employment share increased from 5.2 percent in 1937 to 12.3 percent in 1960 to 18.4 percent in 1994.

The difference shows that we have grow to have more money and just overall more economically smart. \n\nhahaha i found the anwser =]

The Bank of Ireland job index will give you the current trends of recruitment and labour demands in the various sectors in Ireland.  As for how best to attract candidates, with our employment and labour force growth being ahead of the EU average, at 4.2% Ireland has one of the lowest rates of unemployment in the EU, the answer would be to look at what others in the sector are offering and offer more.

They have a statistic that shows real (inflation adjusted) wages are up for this quarter. Middle income wages stagnated for a long time before that, so the fact that wages went up a bit isn't as encouraging as it sounds. GPD is down to a 1.6% annualized rate, and this is NOT a good growth rate. More troublesome, business is NOT reinvesting its huge Bush era tax savings in the domestic economy in the form of capital investment. This is a bad sign for future economic growth. Then there's the little matter of the growing deficit and national debt.

Generally the benefits fall to the taxing authorities. It's a political ploy to garner votes and appear concerned for the "working class". When wages go up, prices go up because demand goes up. Simple Econ 101.  The people who truely don't get it also believe in the lottery, publishers clearinghouse and government aid. They've never heard of Newton's third law. Their best comeback is "you're stupid"

It's the line that shows the possible risk and returns.  As risk goes up, return goes up.  At the very left, with no risk, you're left with the risk-free rate.

Wrong the unemployment numbers reflect those who have successfully filled for benefits & do not get disqualified during all the hoop jumping etc. You can report all you want that will not put you in the unemployment statistics.

It is a way of controlling inflation.  With low unemployment you have more people competing for goods and services which drives up prices.  Higher unemployment means there is less purchasing dollars out there which tends to stablize or lower prices.

I agree completely.\n\nWhat gets me is how ppl will quote unemployment rates.... being so uneducated on how the system works.\n\nUnemployment rates are based on a 6 month cycle and if you have been out of work more than 6 months and NOT registered with the employment commission you do not count.\n\nThis is not even counting the 100,000s that lost their jobs then found new jobs but are working for way less than before.

If I understand your question correctly, this should help:\n\nTotal Variance = (Actual Quantity x Actual Rate) - (Budgeted Quantity x Budgeted Rate)\n\nIf you get a positive number, the variance is unfavorable and if you get a negative number, the variance is favorable.  \n\nHope this helps!
