The nature of work and the economy is changing. The traditional pattern of hiring full-time employees that could look forward to long-term employment, is changing to a pattern where many people hold jobs that are formally defined as temporary. These jobs provide no guarantee that their job will be there next year, or even next month. In your textbook, this pattern is sometimes referred to as: unofficial labor secondary unemployment primary labor market joblessness the "temping" of the workplace

1. The existence of unemployment (a) Suppose previously the unemployment rate was relatively high. But now things change: the unemployment rate becomes very low this year. What change happens in terms of the relative bargaining power of workers and firms when the unemployment rate becomes very low? What do your answers imply about the average wage as the unemployment rate gets very low, given expected price and actual price constant? (b) Given your answer to part (a), why is there unemployment in the economy? (What would happen to real wages if the unemployment rate approached zero? Suppose the expected price and actual price remain constant.)

The natural rate of unemployment is the normal level of unemployment that exists without government intervention in an economy in the long run, in an economy with a high labor force participation rate, and in an economy in the short run.
