Why do a lot of whites do not like the president?

A lot of Americans do not like the President, because the number of people unemployed has gone up since he was inaugurated in January 2009. An unemployed person is not going to like politicians who hold the power, irregardless of the color of their skin. It does not have anything to do with the color of the skin of the President. A lot more Americans are out of work now than were out of work in December 2008. Unemployed people are unhappy people.

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.

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.
