Unemployment Outllok

There are certain categories to unemployment. Which are;
cyclical unemployment
  • Frictional Unemployment
  • Structural Unemployment
  • Seasonal Unemployment
  • Reginal Unemployment



Nearly two years after production began to recover from the worst recession to have hit OECD countries since the 1930s, the labour market situation remains a major preoccupation. At the end of 2010, the average OECD unemployment rate was still close to the historical peak reached during the crisis. In 12 OECD countries, it remained two percentage points or more above the pre-crisis level, and even where the rise in joblessness was less severe, the recovery has been generally too weak so far to allow for a significant fall in unemployment (Figure 5.1). The main concern in countries most severely hit is that persistently high levels of unemployment – and a rising share of unemployed workers facing long spells without a job – will eventually result in widespread deterioration of human capital, discouragement and labour market withdrawal. The risk is strongest for youth and less skilled workers who have been disproportionately affected by the rise in unemployment.








Factors that influence the sudden increments of unemployment Globally;

1.Global recession
2.High-interest rates
3.Negative multiplier effect
4. Structural-mismatch of the skills
5. Realm wage unemployment



For historical data on U.S. unemployment trends, the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes the unemployment rate by year.3 It reports the annual percentage of the unemployed in the labor force, as far back as 1949. It also indicates the success or failure of the fiscal and monetary policies through the years, since they affect the rate of unemployment.

Modern solutions for global unemployment;

  • Planned changes to the monetary policies
  • Better education
  • Fight discrimination
  • Create jobs
  • Support programs for mental issues
