Unemployment is the state of an individual who is not in paid employment or self-employment but is currently available and actively looking for work. It is typically measured by the unemployment rate, which represents the percentage of the labor force that is jobless. Unemployment serves as a key indicator of economic health and can be categorized into various types, including frictional, structural, and cyclical.
