How do you decrease unemployment?

Answer 1

You can help unemployment by stimulating the economy. You can stimulate the economy by decreasing taxes, or increasing spending. However, it is a trade off between employment and inflation. the more inflation, the less unemployment (in the short run). Also, 4% of the adult population are not employed, and want to be employed, but should not be worried about. In the long run, they will find jobs. It's anything over that that we must worry about.

Answer 2

First and foremost you cut taxes. Personal taxes must go down to give people more money to spend and start businesses. Corporate taxes must be completely removed to give Corporations incentive to grow. Remember Corporations are not evil they are owned by you and me and employ millions! Last but far from least we must stop the bombardment of regulations being levied upon businesses and the frivolous law suits that arise from these regulations.

Government is not the ultimate decider of employment. Those individuals and corporations that have been incentivized by past tax abatements should create jobs (as individuals...entrepreneurs, corporations...expand work force) so the workers have income they can spend on the products/services) provided by the above. Instead, individuals have sent their investments overseas and corporations have outsourced them to foreign shores.

Workers need to increase their production and otherwise not give their employers reasons to fire or dismiss them due to illegal or work disruptive activity. Some unemployment is also due to workers deciding to leave for personal reasons causing some increase in the employment rate. Many inexperienced newcomers come into the workforce, also driving up those figures. It is, indeed, a complicated issue, to say the least.
