Now that you know what means to be in the workforce and be unemployed you can calculate the unemployment rate. You can do this by finding the total number of people employment and divide it by the total number of people in the workforce. Remember the workforce does not include everyone. Only employed and unemployed people.

How can the unemployment rate increase at the same time as the employment rate?

# data[].attributes.body
Both unemployment and employment rates can increase at the same time because if the total amount of people increases in the workforce than there could be an increase in both the employment and unemployment. For example, think of a workforce of 100 million people. 5 million of which are unemployed and 95 million are employed. If 3 million people join the work force, and 2 million get employed and 1 million are unemployed. This would result in a new total number of people unemployed of 6 million, and a new total number of people of 97 million.

I would have to say that Structural unemployment would be most destructive. I think this because if the reason you lost your job was because of changes in economy then you most likely won't be able to get back a job that was like what you had before. "It eliminates it"

I believe that frictional unemployment would be easiest to tolerate because if someone is leaving the work force to go to school. They are going to come back to the workforce after they finish with school.
