Unemployment

Wikipedia

Unemployment is the state in which a person is without work, available to work, and is currently seeking work.

The unemployment rate is used in economic studies and economic indexes such as the United States' Conference Board's Index of Leading Indicators. The rate is determined as the percentage of those in the labor force without jobs.

Types

A common typology of unemployment is the following:
