She thinks that if I take a second job, unemployment goes down. She said the Jews invaded Palestine. he thinks that there is such a thing as "free" college. Forgive me, I don't think she should be writing federal law.

I did not compare one primary result to the national tea party creation. I compared the fact that the DNC is sending her to fundraisers all over the country, to the GOP tea party response. She is THE hottest rising star on the left right now, and it's a joke.

The number of jobs isn't an ingredient of the unemployment calculation. Unemployment is, roughly speaking...

the number of people looking for work who are not employed...

divided by...

the number of people working, plus (I think) the number of people looking but not working.

If everyone who works takes a second job, that doesn't change the unemployment percentage. because no one is now working, who was previously unemployed.

unemployment decreases, when someone who wasn't working yesterday, gets a job today.

If one professor is making huge money for not much work, that doesn't add much cost to tuition. If lots of them make huge money, that is a huge driver of cost.

I never said Warren is the only one. She's just the only one hypocritical enough to demand huge money for almost no work, and simultaneously crying about how hard it is for kids to afford to college.

What are the basic concepts of employment and unemployment?

The basic concepts involved in identifying the employed and unemployed are quite simple:

People with jobs are employed.

People who are jobless, looking for a job, and available for work are unemployed.

The labor force is made up of the employed and the unemployed.

People who are neither employed nor unemployed are not in the labor force.


Is there only one official definition of unemployment?

There is only one official definition of unemployment—people who are jobless, actively seeking work, and available to take a job, as discussed above. The official unemployment rate for the nation is the number of unemployed as a percentage of the labor force (the sum of the employed and unemployed).
