How is Unemployment Now?

unemployment in united states http://youthcm.com

Youth Career Management (YCM) reports that: Between 1991 and 2005, the working employment force of about 5.51 million people to 6.9 million people. This increase related primarily to women (44% in 1990 to 57% in 2002) and 55-plus (27% in 1990 to 38% in 2002).

In 2002 hit this situation between January 2002 and December 2003 unemployment rose by 40% to 403,000. Unemployment is maximum among the youth, women, and immigrants and low-skilled. Unemployment is primarily caused by the bad economy.

The CPB expects that in 2004 unemployment will rise sharply, regardless of the slight recovery of the economy in the Netherlands. The protuberance of the Central Planning Office suggests that it is predictable that unemployment will fall to 490,000, or 6.24 percent of the labor force.

Employment in healthcare will probably still increase, but this is not sufficient for the quick rise in unemployment.

The burden and higher pension contributions increases the wedge (the difference between labor costs for businesses and net income of workers) substantially. This will surely guide to a boost in the estimated equilibrium unemployment which in 2004 will rise to 5.5 percent.

Now you can observe there are smaller amount women are element of the workforce and that among women increased unemployment. However, women generally have higher education than men. The less educated unemployment higher than the higher educated.

The labor market

unemployment in united states http://youthcm.com

Youth Career Management (YCM) reports that: On the job market, employers and those who work meet. The employers (buyers) are looking for employees who want to work with them. A job is an example of a concrete market. A concrete market is a place where demanding and suppliers of a given product meet.

The labor market is an example of an abstract market.

An abstract market comprises the whole supply and demand without there being a place where buyers (buyers) and suppliers (sellers) meet. The supply and demand determine the price.

On the labor market labor demand and supply together.

This will determine how many people actually work. This number is the employment.

The job consists of employed persons.

Work Years are the number of hours you work per week. Full courses are now 38uur per week.

The price of labor is the reward.

The highest of the wage is dependent on the extent to which supply and demand match.

If labor demand exceeds the supply we speak of tight labor market. Wages will rise. When demand is less than the offer we speak of broad labor market. The wages will fall.

There are not one but different labor market segments. Markets are a market for teachers or plumbers etc. This is a separate profession.

Man or Machine

unemployment in united states http://youthcm.com

Youth Career Management (YCM) reports that: Investment is the purchase of capital goods (machinery, buildings, vehicles, computers, etc.) by companies. Capital is also called simply capital. Machinery, buildings and transport are also capital assets.

When a family purchases goods or services from companies.

With family is not just man, woman and children but also students in rooms, a single, an unwed mother or a gay couple.

By analyzing the costs of different production methods, a company can identify the least-cost production and therefore the most profitable. Companies can often choose from several combinations of equipment and labor to produce a certain quantity of goods. Which company makes the choice depends on the labor and cost of capital (the capital). Is in the production more work compared to machines turned on, then the more labor intensive. Labor is replaced by capital, we call this substitution. The products are capital intensive. Rising labor costs meant that the factory people went balls replaced by better and more modern machines. The production was a result kapitaalintensiever.Je speaks of fundamental investment as a replacement labor investment has the effect of labor rises. At a depth investment company buys the equipment of better quality. Buy a business capital of the same quality we call that width investment. Labor productivity in this instance remains the same. Width investment can replace old machines but also expanding the fleet. The relationship between machines and workers remains the same so it remains just as capital intensive and labor intensive as it already was. The production capacity is the maximum amount that can be produced.

By scale we mean that the cost per drop as production volume increases.

The battle for the bucks

unemployment in unites states http://youthcm.com

Youth Career Management (YCM) reports that: Everyone knows this phenomenon: inflation, representing an increase of the general price level. If the wages in Euros remains the same, while prices rise, workers can buy less. The purchasing power of income has declined. A wage increase intended to offset the effect of inflation do we call price compensation. Price compensation is a percentage increase in salary equal to inflation.

The increase in average output per worker per unit of time worked per hour, called the rise in labor productivity. A first reason is technical development: mechanization and automation. A second cause is division of labor and specialization. Division of labor and specialization are related to the third cause: education.

An increase in labor productivity means that a worker produces more per hour. A wage increase resulting from an increase in labor, we call initial wage increase.

In practice, not the increase in labor productivity of a business or industry as a starting point, but above the national average increase in labor productivity.

In the public sector (the non commercial services such as education and health care) are possibilities for increasing labor productivity is much smaller than in the primary sector (agriculture and fisheries), the secondary sector (industry) and tertiary sector (commercial services). In these latter sectors, it is easier automation and mechanization. The government sector human effort.

The price compensation keeps the purchasing power levels that are if an employee receives a higher wage. The employee can not buy more.

If an employee is on top of the price compensation also receives an initial wage growth, rising purchasing power. Then the employee is buying more.

Wage drift, for example, wage increases through promotion.

Price compensation and initial increases agreed in a collective agreement. The wage drift is not for everyone, for example, if an employer decides to additional employee reward or promotion. Some wage drift are well established as each employee every year, "periodically" gets. If an employee goes to work shorter work called this shortening (ATV).

If your working week is shortened, you as an employee pay raise, in fact, they are paid only in free time.

Causes of Unemployment

unemployment in united states http://youthcm.com

Youth Career Management (YCM) reports that: There is more than one cause of unemployment for this.

Your frictional unemployment which is unemployment, that occurs because it takes time for an employee to find a job immediately after training.

Seasonal unemployment is that you can work only in certain seasons such as summer in a beach but plenty of work in the winter.

Qualitative structural unemployment is that you do not have proper training for that job. It means that there are other kinds of labor required than that offered. The word quality is in this context means the characteristics a worker.

The labor market is divided into segments such as bricklayers, plumbers and teachers for economics. You also have regional causes such as a shortage of nurses in the east but too many in the west of the country.

Quantitative structure unemployment means that there is too little capital goods with respect to the amount of tied.

This has the following causes:

* There disappearing jobs because workers are replaced by machines. (Depth-investment) Lokettisten be obsolete by ATMs.

* There disappearing jobs by reorganizing companies that want to work more efficiently.

* The disappearance of jobs as companies moves their production abroad. Previously, and lots of textiles made in the Netherlands, now occurs in the low-wage countries.

* There disappearing jobs because corporate profits have collapsed. Companies have no money to expand; potential business starters do not see it stuck with such low yields.

* Jobs are disappearing because the product no longer sold. For example, Lp's disappearance after the advent of the CD.

* Jobs are disappearing because some products are too expensive, like brushing your shoes on the street, clothing repairs.

There is too little money to spend

unemployment in united states http://youthcm.com

Youth Career Management (YCM) reports that: Cyclical unemployment is that there is too little money to spend, for example going to a rock concert. To understand this you must know what production is. The production capacity is the maximum possible production in a given period. The production shows how much a company or an entire country can produce up to a certain period. The utilization rate was calculated as follows:

Utilization = actual production X 100% capacity = load factor which will produce the company on the basis of the Production.

Actual production = more than what the company can produce.

Production = the number of products which they sell.

When spending is low in relation to production, little is produced and there are redundancies. This so called cyclical unemployment. Economicwords, cyclical unemployment is caused by the effective demand are less than the capacity.

A working person skilled in the working age

unemployment in united states http://youthcm.com

Youth Career Management (YCM) reports that: A working person skilled in the working age (after school and before retirement) who is unemployed is called an unemployed person. The external causes of this are different.

SEASONAL UNEMPLOYMENT: this takes the occasional good or bad depending on the weather. Some seasonal sectors are tourism, agriculture and construction.

CASUAL EMPLOYMENT: results from an accidental interruption of work (e.g. due to technical failure in the factory or in the supply).

Cyclical unemployment: in every period of economic downturn creates more unemployment, not all forces of production are used, on the contrary, very much human energy is wasted (-> economic cycle).

STRUCTURAL UNEMPLOYMENT: Unemployment due to the insufficient development of industry, services, unemployment, etc. It is therefore inherent in the economic situation in certain regions, even entire countries (e.g. Spain, Greece) (-> underdevelopment, commuting).

Business closures of course also cause unemployment. In case of boom or a custom policy may change these unemployed often be captured. Simple is not, however, especially in areas with a relatively unilateral oriented, and outdated industry (e.g. coal mines in Wallonia; textile industry in Ghent).

Greater mechanization and automation switch also many workers from ... Especially the low skilled and older workers should take the rap: they are not adapted to modern techniques, they can not follow higher employment rate.

If we examine the statistics, we adopt the following

- The older the worker, the greater his chances are to be unemployed and stay. The capitalist regime punch out those who can not 'follow', a 'burden' forms for the company. The social consequences of these views are obvious;

- The less educated a worker is, the faster he becomes unemployed (mainly due to cyclical unemployment, closing of companies or modernization);

- Despite previous findings we notice the last time a high degree of unemployment among young graduates in virtually all industrialized Western countries.

The root causes of unemployment are inseparable the capitalist regime, namely anarchy (no planning of production and of the productive forces) and the profit (do not use slow-acting people, etc.; they would weigh the cost of production!). Capitalism has proven, can not permanently guarantee full employment. Even in periods of boom and despite the war economy remain still large numbers of unemployed workers, especially older people and workers with lower employability. The neokapitalisme seeking not a socially acceptable solution, namely a modified employment with lower labor rate for the older and weaker, permanently unemployed. One suggested quick fixes in place, by the entire community should be worn (no fees decent life permit).

Only a socialist state can provide such a solution, because it is based not on profit but on the satisfaction of human needs (the right to work and actually constitutionally recognized).
