What’s the UR based on the table below? (1) Answer:
Frictional Unemployment | 1.8% |
Seasonal Unemployment | .4% |
Structural Unemployment | 1.6% |
Cyclical Unemployment | .1% |
Answer
Cyclical unemployment rate = Actual unemployment rate - Natural unemployment rate
Natural unemployment rate = Structural Unemployment rate + Frictional Unemployment rate
(Note In general Seasonal unemployment is considered as a part of structural unemployment and is hence not used in calculating Natural unemployment)
=> Cyclical unemployment rate = Actual unemployment rate - Natural unemployment rate
= Actual unemployment rate - (Structural Unemployment rate + Frictional Unemployment rate)
=> 0.1% = Actual unemployment rate - (1.8% + 1.6%)
=> Actual unemployment rate = 0.1% + 3.4%
Thus, Actual unemployment rate = 3.5%
Hence, UR = 3.5%
