03.02 Public Policy:Unemployment

Unemployment has been a major problem throughout the history of the United States especially during the “Great Depression”. This is a problem because there our many people out there looking for jobs but either don’t have the requirements or not enough jobs for people. In the world there are about 197,000,000 or 197 million people looking for jobs, that is about 6% of the population without jobs in 2012 according to International Labour Organization and as of Florida it has 6% unemployment rate on Oct. 2014 which has slightly decreased over the year because on Oct. 2009 it was as high as 11.2% people without jobs.

But on the other hand if the production of goods doesn’t sell, this would harm the company to lose money since their money is spent on the goods and the money of the workers.
