The unemployment rate is calculated by :The number of employed x100 / Labour force. Between 1970 and 1983 there was a rise in this rate that peaked around 10%; this rise could have been attributed due to weak economic conditions that did not produce enough jobs for the supply of labour. From 1992 to 2007, Australia saw a gradual decline in the unemployment rate most likely due to prosperous economic conditions facilitating strong jobs growth. 2) Based on reading the chapter and our lecture discussions, you should be able to identify an “error” in Figure 11.2 (page 247).
