U.S. unemployment rate data and trends: February 2014JLL
U.S. economy added 175,000 jobs in February, representing below-average growth but exceeding some expectations. The unemployment rate increased 10 basis points to 6.7 percent, causing some to blame this winter’s frigid weather on halted growth. Unemployment for high school and college graduates remains lower, and labor force participation among this key demographic is up, though still suppressed. Total unemployment remains above historic norms at 12.6 percent.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP DEVELOPMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT IN NIGERIAIJM Journal
A number of policy intermediations in Nigeria that were targeted at inspiring and stimulating entrepreneurship development through small and medium scale enterprises have botched. In its place of creating in-country entrepreneurial capacity, entrepreneurs have been converted and become distribution agents of imported goods. This paper argues the development of entrepreneurship and stressed that it has been instrumental in economic growth, balanced regional development and job creation in most vibrant economies, where technology is changing at a faster rate and the product lifetime cycle is dwindling. This paper also looks at Nigeria’s growing unemployment situation and how it increasingly deteriorates the potentials of the country. It emphasizes the prominence and significance of entrepreneurship as realistic machinery for sustainable economic growth and employment generation in Nigeria seeing the experiences of developed nations like Australia, the United States and vibrant economies like China and India.
US employment rate data and trends – January 2017JLL

It finds that the majority of people across 25 countries think that their country is on the wrong track (62% on average), remaining unchanged from last month. Meanwhile, the three biggest worries for global citizens are unemployment, financial and political corruption, and poverty and inequality.

The Global Jobs Pact, adopted by the International Labour Conference in 2009, highlights the labour market vulnerabilities of young people and calls for action to support youth at risk. During the jobs crisis, many governments have taken measures to sustain youth employment through a combination of incentives for new employment, employment services, skills development, income support, public works and community services, and youth entrepreneurship. This brief highlights a number of lessons learned from the implementation of initiatives during past crises. The latter could be taken into consideration by governments, in concert with the social partners, to design interventions aimed at promoting decent work for young people during economic recovery.

Migration Pattern and Urban Informal Sector of Bangladesh The Applicability o...ijtsrd
Urbanization in Bangladesh is an emergent phenomenon of recent times. Widespread urbanization facilitates the economy through offering urban centric better employment opportunities to generate greater pull factor which attracts more rural to urban migration. The growing population creates more pressure in urban economy which might led the urban formal sector to perform less effectively. Income differentials between rural and urban area form a greater expected urban income which motivate migrants to change their workplace and move to urban areas. Urban formal sectors have been mislaying its ability to generate diversified income source for those excessive urban job seekers. As a result, higher unemployment rate in urban sector creates more pressure on the economy. People migrating from rural to urban may wish to stay for a considerable period of time with a hope of finding a new settlement and prefer to survive with lack of both social and financial insecurities leading to the establishment of urban slums. Informal sector has led the way to feed those who are unable to get a desired job through offering short time self employment opportunity. Rural to urban migration sometimes act in opposite direction owing to economic downturns when urban sector fails to absorb the jobless labors often encourage reverse migration. Current ongoing COVID 19 pandemic in Bangladesh has led informal sector in a fickle due to continuous lock down situation which compels urban to rural migration for most of the population engaged in informal economic activities in many urban areas of Bangladesh.

1. PRESENTATION
The level of unemployment in Nigeria has gone a socially unacceptable level.
It is difficult to measure unemployment in Nigeria since a substantial part of the
economy is not monetized and only a small population of the labour force defends on
wages.
The table below shows the distribution of unemployment by education level (F.O.S,
1995).

2. The spread of graduate employment into rural sectors should be a source of concern to
policy makers as this group of persons will eventually Migrate towards the urban centers.
We have for long time mistakably believed that education would create employment.
However, education merely enhance quality of employability production capacity of
labour force (Prof. S.H.O Egboh: Entrepreneurship Development for Employment and Wealth
Generation, 2009 ).
At about 5.3% annual growth rate, urbanization in Nigeria is one of the fastest in the
world and with a stagnant secondary sector, the urban unemployment is estimated at about
10.8% if the Secondary sector do grow efficiently to absorb the surge of labour force to the
urban or the rural areas sufficiently transformed to stem the rate of rural–urban drift.
The rate of urban unemployment could be become really unimaginable
The table below shows the rate of unemployment in Nigeria .
