The Real U.S. Unemployment Rate is Twice the Official Rate, and the Phillips Curve
Komlos, John - 2019
The official unemployment rate has become an inadequate measure of labor market conditions. This poses a major challenge for basic research as well as for the formulation of adequate economic policy. We propose a new definition of the unemployment rate by weighing part-time workers with 62.5%,...
