What is Unemployment?

Unemployment is the number of people that do not have a job, but have been actively searching for a job for at least 4 weeks. The unemployment rate can be calculated by dividing the number of people unemployed, by the entire Labour Force, which is the sum of employed and unemployed people within a given population.
