3.0 Unemployment
Unemployment is an important measure of the economy's strength. The low rate of unemployment shows the economic is in good condition. It means most of the people are able and willing to work. In contrast, the higher rate of unemployment means most of the labour force that is without jobs. It might affect the condition of national economy. The most worrisome is the rise in the share of the long-term unemployed.
