Employment is one of the fundamental factors of economic growth that represent the most frequently used yardstick for measuring recoveries. In discussion of employment, there are two distinctly different categories of unemployment that must be understood. The first is the ‘narrow’ definition that compares the people who are unemployed and looking for work against the total labor force who is employed or looking. The alternative or ‘broad’ definition includes discouraged workers who have stopped looking for work and incorporates the number of people who are working part time, but would like to be employed full time.
