Define Ue
• People in the workforce able, available and willing to
work and are actively seeking work.
• From the amount of people unemployed, economists
find the Unemployment rate (Ue) defined as
percentage of people out of work
– Jobless
– Actively seeking work
Calculation :
(Unemployed x 100%)

Measures
• Macroeconomic objective is low unemployment. Is
FULL EMPLOYMENT POSSIBLE? (3% Ue)
• Labour Force Survey (LFS)
– The ONS surveys 60,000 households on type of employment;
earnings and Ue.
– Published every month using International Labour
Organisation definition of Ue. (UN body)
• Claimant Count
– Montlhy count of those claiming Ue benefits.
– JSA

UK Unemployment (LFS) and the claimant count, 1992-2002
Explain why there is a difference between the two curves

Keywords – Unemployment, voluntary, frictional, seasonal, structural & cyclical unemployment.
Difficulties
• LFS captures more people as some are Ue, but not entitled to benefits.
– ‘Doing the Double’ – Working and benefits
– Under 18 out of school
• Which is better for International comparisons?
• Claimant count is relatively inexpensive and quick to assemble

the coal and iron. Or technological Ue due to advances in
technology elsewhere.

deficit Ue)
