Lesson 18 comes from CEE’s newly revised Third Edition of High School Economics. Over the course of twenty-eight lessons the Third Edition addresses the needs of today’s students, urging them to engage with current events.

Martha Rush, a teacher from Mounds View School in Minneapolis Minnesota, demonstrates in this video how to get the most out of Lesson 18: Unemployment Survey.

Lesson 18 objectives:

  • Decide whether a worker is employed, unemployed, or not in the labor force.
  • Calculate the unemployment rate.
  • Identify shortcomings of using the unemployment rate to describe a country’s labor market situation.
