2. Unemployment is a state when a person who is
actively searching for a job but is unable to find job.
Unemployment occurs when a person is available
and willing to work but currently without work.
3. The unemployment rate is expressed as a
percentage, and is calculated as follows:
Unemployment Rate=Unemployment Workers

Greater unemployment in agricultural sector than
in industrial and other major sectors.
6. In this type of unemployment a person
is out of job because of his own desire
to not work on prescribed wages.

wages although he is capable of earning his wages
and is also anxious to earn them.
