Figure 1.1 shows the change in the unemployment rate during the 2000s DATA HUNT: Figure 1.1 shows the change in the unemployment rate during the 2000s. Even though the 2008 recession ended in June 2009 the unemployment rate continued to climb and eventually reached 10%. To put this indicator in perspective you will need to find the month and year when the unemployment rate was higher than 10%. Use this  link   (http://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/surveymost?bls) to access unemployment data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. You will need to start your search in 1948 and end in 2011; then select the period with the highest unemployment rate and enter it below.  Enter your data in the two digit month.year format. For example, if the period with the highest unemployment rate was in June 1953 the you will enter:  6.53   .If there are two consecutive months with the same unemployment rate then use the first month for your answer. Answer:

  What is the minimum amount of time an economy must contract for it to be in a state of recession?

Given the GDP data in the above graph, which period is associated with the highest unemployment rate? Select one: a.  A b.  B c.  C d.  D Use this chart  Tis is the chart information. x= 2007 Q4, y=2 x= 2008 Q1, y=-2 x= 2008 Q2,y=1 x= 2008 Q3,y=-4 x= 2008 Q4, y=-9 x= 2009 Q1, y=-5 To determine which period is associated with the highest unemployment rate, we need to identify the quarter with the highest negative value for "y" because a negative value for "y" typically represents a decrease in GDP, which is often associated with higher unemployment.  From the data provided, the period with the highest negative value for "y" is "2008 Q4" with a value of "-9." Therefore, the period associated with the highest unemployment rate is "2008 Q4."

Which of the following equations best represents gross domestic product (GDP): Select one: a.   income + savings b.  prices - spending c.  prices - income d.  prices x output Correct Answer:  d. prices x output The correct equation that represents Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is: d. prices x output GDP is calculated by multiplying the prices (or value) of goods and services produced in a country by the total output (quantity) of those goods and services.

Why is real GDP a more accurate measure of an economy's production than nominal GDP? Select one: a.  Real GDP does not include the value of intermediate goods and services, but nominal GDP does. b.  Real GDP is not influenced by price changes, but nominal GDP is. c.  Real GDP measures the value of goods and services an economy produces, but nominal GDP measure the income earned during the production process. d.  Real GDP measures the amount of spending on goods and services, but nominal GDP measures the value of goods and services an economy produces. Real GDP is considered a more accurate measure of an economy's production than nominal GDP because it adjusts for the effects of inflation. Inflation is the increase in the general price level of goods and services in an economy over time. It erodes the purchasing power of money, which means that the same amount of money will buy fewer goods and services as prices rise. This inflation can distort the true picture of an ...
