لماذا يهم

Full employment is part of most central banks' mandate. A falling unemployment rate means a tighter labour market, faster wage growth and more inflation pressure, which can keep the Bank of England hawkish; a rising rate is one of the clearest recession signals (the US "Sahm rule" flags a 0.5-point rise in the three-month average).

طريقة الحساب

the Office for National Statistics (ONS) usually runs a household survey: people are counted as unemployed if they had no work, were available and looked for a job recently. The rate is unemployed ÷ (employed + unemployed). Registered jobless and claimant counts instead count people signed on for benefits. Participation is the labour force ÷ working-age population.

Unemployment rate = unemployed ÷ labour force × 100
Labour force = employed + unemployed

ما تعنيه التغيرات

• A lower rate than expected usually supports the pound sterling.
• Check participation: unemployment can fall because people stop looking, which is not good news.
• Broader measures (US U-6) include part-timers who want more hours.

لمحة تاريخية قصيرة

Systematic unemployment statistics began in the 1930s Depression; the International Labour Organization's definition, adopted in 1982, is used by most countries today.
