Ever wonder how the Bureau of Labor Statistics calculates the ever-changing unemployment rate? Sal explains this by breaking down the US population into subsets, including the labor force and the unemployed. He explains the formula for calculating the unemployment rate and what constitutes a member of this subset. He discusses marginally attached workers and explains their effect on the total rate. Sal does a nice job of using hypothetical population statistics to simplify these points for scholars.
