how many ways can be done to reduce unemployment?which is the most efficient way?

Here are a couple ways.\n\nLower the taxes that businesses must pay to stay in business.  Even though my company is not profitable, I pay over $40,000 annually in NON-payroll taxes.  That is an entire other worker I could hire.\n\nCreate a level playing field internationally.  If another country charges incredibly high tariffs and customs duties to let our products in, we should charge reciprical tariffs and duties to let their products into ours.\n\nCreate tax incentives for small companies (80% of US workers work for small to mid-sized business, yet all the incentives & tax breaks go to the large companies that only employ 25% of Americans).\n\nGet serious about Universal Health Care.   If Michigan really wanted business to flourish in this state, they should enact the first statewide Universal Health Care.   Businesses could afford to pay all the other bs taxes if they did not have to pay exhorbitantly high health insurance for their employees.  Companies would flock to this state if they knew their health insurance cost was $0.  Won't happen though, the insurance companies lobbyists spend way too much money and are way too imbedded in the politicians pocketbooks for this to ever change.\n\nAs a country we have to stop these ridiculous Product Liability lawsuits.  Everytime a jury awards a multi-million dollar settlement another handful of jobs leaves our country.  Corporations are not never-ending sources of money, they have to be profitable or they do not continue to exist.  We are suing manufacturing, and all the jobs that go with it, right out of this country.  \n\nAnd lastly, education.  So many seem to feel education will fix everything, but it won't .  Having a highly educated workforce does not equate to higher production or reduced costs.   And the educated are generally more willing to relocate, so having highly educated people availabe geographically is only a small part of fixing unemployment.

Conservation: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. \n\nStart yourself. Use your recycling bin, turn off the light after you leave a room, if you can walk or bike there don't use the car, donate to and/or shop at thrift stores...\n\nlook at the second link for more tips

Ask yourself this.-- Who is qualified to help people with these kinds of problems?\n\n--Drug addiction, you definitely cannot get past without help.\n--Depression, you definitely should get help for.\n\nAND getting help for these two things will definitely improve the unemployment problem.\n\nSounds like getting help from a professional is a very good idea. If you don't like the first one, find one you do like. And be ready open for change in a positive direction.

I can only think of two off hand.\nNot enough money, or you don't think you need it anymore.\nOh yeah, number three, if you're just too lazy to get up and go get it.

Good idea! Perhaps ot will encourage people to actually get out of welfare, instead of propagating so that they can collect more. Brilliant!\n\nPS: Will nip corruption in the system though, hence might not be feasible.

I think the above answers are very optimistic. \nIt is really a difficult question to answer considering that the data is very well hidden by large companies that don't want you to know that they are very unstable in that department.\n\nThe best way that I could think of would be to compare the numbers on The Bureau of Labor Statistics. They will crunch the numbers on Employment and Unemployment over the years and even print you out a little line graph. Keep in mind that the information you see on this site is not perfect. For instance, the US defines "unemployed" people as ONLY people who were previously employed, recieving checks for unemployment and currently looking for work. There are other kinds of information available as well.\n\nSee the link below.

Tell your employer that you will resign, if they will agree to pay unemployment.\n\nThen tell the unemployment office that you were laid off. You will then get benefits.\n\nTake care,\nTroy

Hi,  \n\n   The most important thing to remember about job searches is that you should use a combination of methods regardless of your location.\n\n    Networking - Register at your local Unemployment Office (you don't need to be on unemployment to register for their assistance). They often will have networking groups on a regular basis. They also are a good source for the jobs that never show up in the paper or online.  This is especially important for reaching your goal of working for the government because all their jobs are required to be posted through unemployment.  ajb.com also carries most of the federal and state job postings.\n\n    Check your local paper -- In many cases the paper's classified are now online.\n\n    Search Smart Online -- If you don't have a lot of time, spend most of your time at sites that aggregate the job feeds from several job search engines. Prominently these include indeed.com and thingamajob.com.\n\n    Organization -- I am the lead developer of a free online application that allows you to track your ads, jobs you apply for, send or print mail merged correspondence, and track your job search history. This site is jobsearchlog.com \n\nGood Luck,\n\nMichael

Thanks for asking.  Here's the answer.  The government should never, ever, hand out money, or anything of value for that matter.  The fraud involved in that method is vast.  Make sure the people are getting what it was intended they get (eliminating, for example, the old food stamps for crack barter).  Concentrate hard on eliminating the waste and fraud inherent in the system.  Every dollar you save by eliminating fraud and waste could be used to get these people off welfare (at no additional cost to the taxpayers).  Education, job training, relocation.  Once you have a good system for getting people off welfare, then you can start to install restrictions to "encourage" the less motivated.  You could also clamp down on fraud and waste in other government departments and use that "free" money to get people off of welfare and out of poverty.  Done.  Next problem.

I see 5 options:\n1) Garage sale (yard sale)\n2) Sell your stuff on eBay\n3) Take an equity loan on your house\n4) Apply for unemployment compensation or general assistance from Social Services Department in your county.\n5) Check out temporary jobs, such as construction, cleaning, help people who move, or put ads/newspapers on people's yards/doorsteps/doorhandles and mailboxes.\nMcDonalds and other fast foods are also always hiring.

Your local library will have a few books called something like '101 Ways To Earn Extra Money', as well as others on getting out of debt.\n\nEarning more is only part of the battle- a smart pay off plan, and better cash management are needed as well.\n\nAs far as extra money-\n- extra shifts at work\n- part time job\n- sell your best talent- troubleshoot computers, design web pages for co-workers, design landscaping, build cool furniture, sell baked goods...\n- do stuff no one else wants to do- shovel, mow, wash windows, paint buildings... \n- sell off unused stuff in smart ways (garage sale vs. pawn shop vs. eBay...)\n- find something to do for the people around you that they will pay you for. \n\nEXAMPLE: One lady made a bundle when co-workers noticed her wonderful lunch sandwiches, so she started making them for others- first just office mates, then the department, then the floor...\n\nWithin 3 months, she quit her job and hired a staff of 5 other people to make and deliver her sandwiches to several big businesses in her area.

Why not go down and ask the unemployment people?

You have a very good point.  I will have to throw a wrench in the works of your sarcasm though.  If the supply of workers who would submit to such cuts was lower, the frequency of this occurring would also be much lower.  \n\nI'll play devil's advocate for a second.  My response is a little tongue in cheek.\n\nAre these things you mentioned constitutional rights?  Should a company be forced to provide me with a bonus above and beyond what they have agreed to pay me?  Anything we agree upon is the only thing they should be bound by law to give me.  If I agree to continue to work for a company that engages in such practices then I am indirectly submitting to the change.  I become one more worker in the labor supply that will accept such practices.  Thus raising the equilibrium quantity and allowing the process to continue.  In many other countries the government forces companies to do many of the things you said.  Unemployment is much higher in those countries.  \n\nWhat if, because of the new cuts, the company is able to hire new labor that may have otherwise remained unemployed?  Does that not give a benefit to society?  What if the increase in this practice raises the GDP and because of that the government becomes more profitable and does not raise taxes or even lowers taxes (Gasp lol which they rarely do). \n\nThe real question we need to start asking ourselves is: “What is the goal of a healthy economy?”  If it is to grow like a blob and become a Juggernaut at the expense of labor then we are well on our way  :D  OR is the point of a good economy to provide a better standard of living (not just higher pay) for the people who live in that country.

If the workforce expands by more than the number of jobs.\n\nThe unemployment rate isn't the number of people without jobs - it's the number of people who have said that they're actively seeking work and can't find it (and are collecting benefits).\n\nIf you're unemployed for longer than your benefits last, you're not counted as unemployed any more. Great system, huh?
