Is it possible for the unemployment rate and employment to both go up?
Yes, it is possible. The unemployment rate is calculated by dividing the number of unemployed people by the number of people in the labor force. The labor force does not include people who are not actively looking for work because they are discouraged by the job market. If over the month, some of the unemployed get jobs, and some of those who were discouraged rejoin the labor force so that they get counted in the "unemployed", employment would go up and the unemployment rate could go up. It would depend on the net effect on the "unemployed" group - if there are more people who rejoin the labor force than those who move from "unemployed" to "employed" then the unemployment rate would go up while employment also increases.
Is it possible for unemployment rates to increase at the same time that the number of employed persons is increasing?
Yes. Just means that people are replacing others, so for every one unemployed, one is employed.Another answer:No. In the above case, the status (rate) would stay the same as 1 merely replaces the other, but the ratio of unemployed to the total available work force remains the same. For example, if you have 50 unemployed and 50 employed workers, the unemployment rate is 50%. 51 unemployed and 51 employed is still 50%. Adding one more worker (i.e. just graduated from school), and you still have 50 unemployed, but now there is 51 employed. The rate now changes from 50% unemployed to 49.5% unemployed, so the unemployment RATE decreased by adding the one employed person. You CAN have unemployed NUMBERS, but not rate, increase at the same time as the employed NUMBERS increase, however.

How does an increase in unemployment negatively affect your government?
Increased applications for unemployment benefits directly reflect the loss in the number of jobs available to workers. The actual cost of paying unemployment benefits to the unemployed, is actually very small compared with other government spending. Paying unemployment benefits to those who need it, actually benefits the country's economy, because it prevents jobless individuals and their families, to overwhelm other government programs such as welfare. Paying unemployment benefits also prevents individuals to fall into poverty-related social problems, which would result in higher costs to deal with their consequences and to bring individuals back to join the work force, which at the end, is what keeps the economy rolling and growing.
What effect do labor unions have on the unemployment rate?
The greater the unemployment benefits, the longer one will stay unemployed. This may also increase the number of people that will become unemployed; thereby increasing the unemployment rate.
If the number of people classified as unemployed is 50000 and the number of people classified as employed is 250000 what is the unemployment rate?
You need to divide the unemployed by the TOTAL number of people (employed + unemployed). Then you can convert that number into a percentage.

What would the unemployment rate be with 9 million people unemployed?
To calculate the unemployment rate, divide the number of unemployed individuals by the total labor force and multiply by 100. If 9 million people are unemployed and the total labor force is, for example, 150 million, the unemployment rate would be 6%.
How do you calculate unemployment rates?
Divide the number of unemployed by the number of people in the labor force then multiply by 100. Ex. Labor force: 130.5 Million Unemployed: 7.2 Million 7.2/130.5 X 100 = 5.5% 100 X (number unemployed) / (number unemployed + number employed) You can go to the Related Link below for one answer. There are several methods used to calculate the rate of unemployment (see the Related Link below). The most common one is: Unemployment Rate = 'Unemployed Workers' divided by 'Total Labor Force'. Unemployment is generally the percentage of people looking for work, and who are currently unemployed, as compared to the total number of availiable workers. There is one big exception, which generally is not realized by most, and that is that the people who are now or were previously unemployed, but are no longer looking for work, are not included or counted in any other numbers currently published. based off the census in the U.S.A.
