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.

This document discusses unemployment, inflation, and the relationship between the two. It defines different types of unemployment, how unemployment affects the economy and individuals. The natural rate of unemployment hypothesis holds that there is always some level of voluntary unemployment. The Phillips curve shows an inverse relationship between unemployment and inflation, where lower unemployment corresponds with higher inflation.

The document discusses unemployment in India. It defines full employment and unemployment, noting that unemployment occurs when able and willing people cannot find work. It states that unemployment is typically higher in urban areas, among men, in the agriculture sector, and among the educated population. It classifies unemployment into voluntary, involuntary, cyclical, seasonal, frictional, structural, and disguised types. It provides employment and unemployment data for India from 1993-1994 to 2004-2005 and notes the current unemployment rate is around 9.4%. It also lists some key government initiatives to address unemployment like MGNREGA, SGSY, and PMEGP. Suggestions proposed include increasing access to credit, providing skills training, and reforming
The document discusses the relationship between inflation and unemployment as depicted by the Phillips curve. It explains that demand-pull inflation is caused by increases in aggregate demand, while cost-push inflation stems from increases in costs of production. The Phillips curve shows an inverse relationship between inflation and unemployment in the short run, but this relationship breaks down in the long run as inflation expectations rise. The natural rate of unemployment is the rate at which inflation remains stable in the long run.
This document discusses unemployment, including how it is measured and different types of unemployment. It provides statistics on unemployment rates in Saudi Arabia compared to other countries. Some key points covered include:

The main types of unemployment discussed are frictional, structural, cyclical, and seasonal unemployment. Causes of unemployment mentioned include population growth, lack of job opportunities, seasonal factors, and slow industry development. Costs of unemployment include individual financial issues and societal underutilization of resources. Unemployment is typically measured by calculating the unemployment rate as a percentage of the unemployed workforce versus the total labor force. Proposed solutions include changing investment patterns, encouraging small businesses, subsidizing employment, and reorienting education.

Population Estimates, Methods, Procedures & Local GovtRobert Hiett
This document discusses population estimates and projections for North Carolina municipalities and counties. It provides population data from 1970 to present and projections out to 2038. It summarizes population change from 2010 to 2018 for North Carolina and other states. It also discusses the roles and responsibilities of the US Census Bureau and North Carolina Office of State Budget and Management in producing population estimates used for planning and distributing state and federal funds. Accurate 2020 Census counts are important for producing reliable population estimates.
The St. Louis labor market continues to be very healthy. Non-farm payrolls in St. Louis rose 3.1 percent year-over-year, the most in 15 years. This led to the unemployment rate to fall below 4.0 percent for the first time since 2000.
The document summarizes new residential construction statistics for March 2016 in the United States. It finds that privately-owned housing units authorized by building permits decreased 7.7% compared to the previous month but increased 4.6% compared to March 2015. Housing starts decreased 8.8% month-over-month but increased 14.2% year-over-year. Housing completions increased 3.5% month-over-month and 31.6% year-over-year.
The document provides an economic snapshot of the US and Atlanta metro area in January 2018. It summarizes that metro Atlanta continues to be a national leader in job growth, with the strongest employment growth found in higher-paying sectors like professional/business services and information. While wages are seeing positive annual growth, it remains sluggish. The metro area still has high levels of distressed housing but home prices have surpassed pre-recession peaks. There is currently over 5 million square feet of office space and almost 2 million square feet of retail space under construction.
- Home sales in the Greater Toronto Area set a new record for the month of May 2016 with 12,870 sales, a 10.6% increase over May 2015. However, new listings declined 6.4% over the same period.
- The shortage of listings has resulted in strong upward pressure on home prices. The average home price rose 15.7% year-over-year to $751,908 in May 2016. Price growth was strongest for low-rise home types like detached houses, semis and towns due to high competition between buyers.
- Tight market conditions have also pushed up condominium apartment prices faster than the rate of inflation. The MLS Home Price Index rose 15% year-over
“Whether we’re talking about existing homeowners or people looking to purchase for the first time, there is no shortage of buyers in the marketplace today. So, while the record number of home sales through the first five months of 2016 is not necessarily
surprising, it does sometimes mask the larger story in the GTA: the shortage of listings, which has resulted in strong upward pressure on home prices,” said Mr. McLean.

Where We Ride: Analysis of Bicycling in American Cities 2014BikeLeague
Each year, the U.S. Census Bureau studies Americans’
commuting habits, including how many people
commute by bike. While commuting is only part
of the bicycling story, the American Community
Story is a valuable insight into changing
commuting patterns and transportation choices.
Each year, the League of American Bicyclists digs into
the data to assess the state of bicycling in cities across the
country. In 2013, the American Community Survey tells us
that 882,198 Americans primarily used a bike to commute
to work, which is part of an ongoing trend we’ve seen over
the past decade. Since 2000, there has been a 62% increase in bike commuting across the country. In this report, we try and answer the age-old questions of what is the most bike-friendly community in America, and how does my community compare to the best?

10. Forecast Month
More than 60 economists participate
in a monthly, national economic
forecast published by the Wall Street
Journal; this monthly consensus
forecast shows expectations for
modest economic growth through
2018.
Source: Wall Street Journal Economic Survey16
Snapshot
U.S. GDP is forecasted to grow
1.8 percent in 2016 and pick up
to 2.2 percent in 2017 and 2.3
percent in 2018.
The nation’s unemployment rate
is expected to stay below 5.0
percent through the end of
2018.
Economists continue to expect
employment growth over the
next 12 months. The forecast
for jobs-per-month in November
was 159,883, a level that would
add about 1.9 million jobs over
the next 12 months or an
annual growth rate of about
1.3%.

11. Each month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics releases current
employment data in the Employment Situation. The data comes from two
different surveys: the Current Population Survey (CPS), also known as the
household survey, and the Current Employment Statistics (CES) survey,
also known as the establishment or payroll survey.
While both surveys measure employment, they have different samples,
employment definitions, estimation procedures and concepts. These two
series track well together over long periods but, in the short term, do occa-
sionally diverge.

View of the nation’s economic
health through employment
numbers; earnings trends and
wage push inflation through
average hourly earnings; and
short term fluctuations in demand
through average weekly hours of

Monthly estimates of labor force,
employment and unemployment
for state and local areas. The local
unemployment estimates are the
basis for determining area eligibility
for benefits under the Workforce
Invest Act and other federal programs.
Cooperative effort between the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics & State
agencies. Models use both current
and historical data from the Current
Population Survey, Current
Employment Statistics program,
and Unemployment Insurance
statistics program to provide
estimates of employment and
unemployment.
Persons age 16 or older who, in the
survey week, worked for pay or
