Unemployment & the Labor Force; Definitions Thereof

We currently define the unemployment rate as the percentage of workers without jobs in our labor force. We currently define our labor force as workers who are actively looking for jobs. However, those definitions are both simplistic and problematic, excluding complicated factors and variables that keep us from arriving at a more precise unemployment rate.

New job!

Just got hired as the new Youth Religious Education teacher at the UU Church of Lawton. Yay! I'll be teaching elementary-aged children ethical thought and comparative religion, which is basically how to think and what other people think, as food for thought. :)
