Why high unemployment in the U.S. is expected for 2010-2014
06/06/2009
Structural problems like a mismatch of skills between maufacturing and construction sectors worst hit since 2008 and growing sectors like healthcare is one problem. Geographic factors and difficulty selling homes in states like Michigan is another. The tighter credit from a return of banking sector losses from bad home equity loans that is expected in late 2010 will keep the recovery from taking hold keeping unemployment high. The economic uncertainty following repeated budget battles between political parties also affects business investment.

Vanguard's Bill McNabb on the cost of uncertainty for the U.S. economy in lower GDP growth and higher unemployment- 2011-2014
04/28/2013
Vanguard economists estimate the cost of uncertainty in deficit reduction policy, uncertainty in monetary policy, uncertainty in foreign policy, uncertainty for business investment, places a drag on the U.S. economy of $261 billion. Stanford University economists Bloom and Baker and University of Chicago economist Davis have done work showing the level of uncertainty in 2011-2012 continuing into 2013 is about 50% higher than the level seen since 1985. Vanguard economsts based their analysis and estimates on this work and identified specific events leading to the overall uncertainty. This has cost the U.S. economy about 1 million jobs, with job growth being 45,000 per month higher without this overall uncertainty hanging over the economy, according to Vanguard estimates.

U.S. Federal Reserve's 6.5% unemployment target with 2% inflation announced by Bernanke in Dec. 2012
01/27/2009
The U.S. Fed's chairman Bernanke says the Fed will keep rates low till unemployment reaches 6.5% citing "the tremendous waste in human potential" of high unemplyment rates. As long as inflation remains subdued at 2% the Fed will continue its current policy of low rates. In 2013 the Fed will continue bond buying at the rate of $85 billion a month. If unemployment drops to 6.5%, but this is because more people are dropping out of the labor market the Fed will take this into account, says Bernanke. The Fed will also keep an eye out for asset bubbles in the economy.

The participation rate in the job market for men between 16-64 is dropping over time. It was 85% in the 1950's and has dropped continually after each recession. It is now at 65%.

Takeaways From the Monthly Jobs Report
Wall Street Journal 04/05/2014
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
