What you will learn in this chapter:
The meaning of the natural rate of unemployment, and why it isn’t zero
Why cyclical unemployment changes over the business cycle
How factors such as a minimum wage and efficiency wages can lead to structural unemployment
The reasons that unemployment can be higher or lower than the natural rate for extended periods
The existence of a short-run trade-off between unemployment and inflation, called the short-run Phillips curve, that disappears in the long run
Why the NAIRU, the nonaccelerating inflation rate of unemployment, is an important measure for policy-making

The Nature of UnemploymentWorkers who spend time looking for employment are engaged in job search.
Frictional unemployment is unemployment due to the time workers spend in job search.
Structural unemployment is unemployment that results when there are more people seeking jobs in a labor market than there are jobs available at the current wage.

Each additional percentage point of output gap reduces the unemployment rate by less than 1 percentage point.
Unemployment rate = Natural rate of unemployment – (0.5 – Output gap)
