Unemployment Rate and Misrepresentation
1. Produce an example that demonstrates a worker who is a part of hidden unemployment or whose current employment status does not represent the state of the economy that is being portrayed by the unemployment rate.
2. Using the framework of the unemployment rate, contrast what is going on in the economy compared to what the numbers tell us.
HINT: It may be helpful to visualize this using a very small economy, of say 10 people, and working off of that, rather than trying to imagine a real-world economy with millions of adults in the population.
