U.S. SITUATION • Current Rate: • U3 = 9.1% • U6 = 15.8% • LFPR = 64.2% • 8,000,000 jobs lost over the last 4 years
CONTEXT Last 40 Years’ U3 Unemployment Rate Job Loss Since 2004
PATH TO RECOVERY? CPI Salary Growth
THE FUTURE • Bureau of Labor Statistics: By 2018… • 15,300,000 More jobs • Unemployment under 7% • Younger and more diverse Labor Force • Increase in professional labor • Low growth in LFPR, 8.2%
ENDING THOUGHTS • Does the U3 or the U6 more accurately depict the unemployment situation? • How might current and future inflation rates effect the employment recovery? • What unseen factors may effect the BLS’ predictions for the next 10 years?
