What should the Federal reserve do if the unemployment rate is getting high?

Increase the money supply. In theory, some theory suggest not, but, whatever, increasing the money supply increases the demand for normal goods, and thus, results in more hiring. More hiring means lower unemployment.

Reduce Drug Abuse, Inflation

And Taxes in an Interest Based Economy.

Abstract

I have developed a new financial instrument which will be much more valuable than the bonds or the treasury bills government sells in the open market to raise much needed funds to run the country .These are all interest based instruments and can only be used by institutions. The instrument I am proposing is without interest and will be used by every body to purchased goods and services in the government and private sector resulting in up to 60% discounts .This is why these will be massively bought up front in massive amounts in the shortest period of time of one month to run the country for at a year and much more by the end of the year.

Introduction

The world is facing many challenges with no solution in sight.

The main cause of all these ills is the POVERTY.

1. Issue bonds which can be used by everybody rich or poor and and are not debt TO THE STATE so there is no question of interest.

How: I take the example of USA which is under the threat of great recession.

USA borrows money by selling treasury bills and the interest based bonds. The suggestion is to sell these bonds on non interest basis

EXAMPLE: One dollar buys 5 bonds on the condition that the amount should be $100000 or multiple of it. Fewer amounts will have rate of four and three. This discount period is only for one month at the start of the implementation of this system. In the second month the rate will be 4 in the next month. The rate of 3 will apply to subsequent months for the same amount

WHERE THESE BONDS WILL BE USED? 1. All state controlled services and commodities. EXAMPLE: A bill of (any service or Commodity) $100 can be paid with 200 bonds and there will be no exception to this rule .A NET DISCOUNT OF 60 %.

A simple formula will apply: Total bill in dollars x2 is the number of bonds surrendered. Price in bonds will not be less than the cost price but without the direct indirect taxes and the duties which are added to the present to make it very expensive.

It will attract at least 150 million people to take this opportunity as early as possible. And if one is sure of making 100% profit within 30 days there will be many more that will help themselves.

RESULT - Government gets at least $15 trillion within a very short period of time of few days and much more in the rest of the year .THIS IS NOT A LONE AS STATE HAS SOLD BONDS( Commodity) WHICH IS AN ALTERNATE CURRENCY AND DO NOT CARRY ANY INTEREST. One immediately thinks that who will bear the loss and this big loss to the state is not more than total year budget of $12 trillion which it collects in one year with all the taxes and the duties but the bond price is simply a cost price without any kind of tax or duty

WHO WILL SELL THESE BONDS? State will float tenders to will select a private agency (USMF) UNITED STATES MONITORY FUND JUST A NAME GIVEN TO THIS ORGANIZATION with the lowest bid WHERE AS second third and forth bidders will be auditors of USMF . This agency will employ at least 20 million unemployed on 10% commission basis and without any salary. These agents will have to pay $500 as an annual fee to USMF in order to build the infrastructure for the sale of bonds. Agents quota Will be $300000 per month or they will be allowed to sell their whole year quota in one day or in a month, This will only materialize if the agent shares his commission with the would be buyer. Greater the share of commission quicker the sale. This investor or a buyer will sell these bonds at the same rate of 5 per dollar and his bonds will sell like hot cakes every day as there is no condition of the amount of money to purchase any amount of bonds. In this way even the poorest person will get the same rate as the investor except for the commission which he takes from the agent who makes almost 100% profit by only investing $100000 .He will sell these bonds repeatedly and will keep at least 6% profit every day till the demand lasts. NOW THINK HOW MUCH STATE HAS ACCUMULATED Much more than few years budget in matter of only one month.

FLOOD GATES OF MONEY AND TURNING POINT.

This is only the first flood gate of money and there are seven of these yet to open so at the end of 30 days or even much earlier the government declares tax free country for ever. With the removal of all kinds of direct and indirect taxes and duties the price of oil electricity telephone and of all types on other items under government control is almost 60% less than before as these are being purchased by bonds (which is the cost price) and not with dollars. The production cost of every thing has come down tremendously.

SECOND OPTION

State also offers one million duty free if one deposits $100000 non refundable .This brings out all the black and spare money which state WAS NOT ABLE TO GET BEFORE AND AS THERE IS NO TAX AND HENCE NO TAX EVASION SO ALL THE MONEY IS WHITE AS IT IS BEING GIVEN TO GOVERNMENT .

This was the second flood gate of money which is even bigger than the first one and the exact amount is impossible to asses unless the system is implemented.

In order to provide cheep bonds through out the year government offers three types of registration fees.

1. Pay $100000 in the start of the year and get the rate of 5 for the rest of the year and this will suit the professional鈥檚 and salaried person鈥?/p>

2. pay $10000 yearly and get 20000 new bonds at the rate 5 every month but one has to collect 10000 bonds( equal to fee) to get this cheap rate through out the year. Higher the registration fee more the entitlement of cheep bonds. This registration will suit any small time business who will sell his product cheaper provided 15% bonds are also paid with rest of cash money by the customer SEE THE NEXT REGISTRATION FOR FARTHER EXPLANATION 15 %BONDS .This will apply to all goods in private sector and does not apply to the government sector. This is a big incentive to accept bonds in the private sector as the business accepting more bonds will have more business than the trader not accepting the bonds so the bonds market will multiply and there will be a constant need for bonds in the open market.

3. Third type of registration will be of $100000 which will entitle the business to sell its products through USMF. The value of merchandise sold through this source will help the business to get the 5 bond per dollar rate equal to the amount sold or opt for the duty free option equal the amount sold. But with one condition of surrendering 15% bonds at each sale in dollars

EXAMPLE; MERCHANDISED SOLD THROUGH USMF $1000. BONDS SURRENDERED 150 ARE DEPOSITED IN STATE ACCOUNT TO BE SOLD AGAIN SO THE CYCLE OF BONDS IS ESTABLISHED .A receipt of bonds surrendered is obtained from USMF for evidence of sale of merchandise and this receipt will entitle the traders to get cheep bonds or the duty free option through out the year BUT THE SAME RECEIPT CAN BE USED ONCE ONLY.

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT TO BUSINESS .1? CHEEP BONDS THROUGH OUT THE YEAR

2 .DUTY FREE OPTION WILL HELP INDUSTRY.

3. The quota which can be sold is ten times the amount of Registration but not more unless the registration fee is increased. Now all the business will opt for this registration in order to reduce the cost of production. These 15% bonds the business will get back through a chain of dealers sub dealers and ultimately the customer will pay this bond portion as he will get the end product very cheep because of tremendous cut in the cost of production by the factors already mentioned. This will replace the GST or the VAT or the two price system seen all over USA. Almost every body will sell their product through this channel as it will be much costlier to sell the product out side this system as cheap bonds are not available otherwise.

According to rough estimate at least $1000 trillion transactions are carried out every day in US and at each transaction 15% bonds are being surrendered, the price 15 bonds is $3 .So 3% of 1000 trillion will be $30 trillion which goes into government account without any compulsion every day (UNBELIEVABLE) this is the third flood gate of money AND IS CALLED THE GOLD MINE

4 Now the state is sitting in the driving seat and all the money in banks of private sector have transferred into government account and banks are no more the lenders but are borrower from the state which is the only source left and will invest in business with sound feasibility study checked by the state bank. The state will offer to invest 80% and the bank will bring investor who is willing to pool rest 20%. This 20 % will be deposited in the bank and the bank will oversee the running the business, running expenses will be given to the investor from its share of 20%. There will be no collateral and share of the profit and loss will be shared in the ratio of 60 and 40. The bank will share the 60% with the investor and 40 % will go to state funds and the state will provide every thing under its control below cost which will farther reduce the cost of production and at the same time will MARKEDLY improve the profit margins OF ALL THE BUSINESSES. No major business can refuse this offer. Any bank showing repeated loss will go out of business as there will be no more funds available from the government source and all other interest based sources are not available any more. Interest based banking is gone for ever or it may be at a very small scale and the state will not offer loans on interest as these are not any more profitable and risk free as there is no collateral . The amount of profit government will share will be unimaginable and this is the 5Th flood gate opened

THEN WHY NOT INVEST ON PROFIT AND LOSS SHARING BAS

Can anyone predict what would happen to the unemployment rate if all of the Military personnel who a

deployed worldwide were suddenly returned to the USA?

Can anyone predict what would happen to the unemployment rate if all of the Military personnel who are?

the unemployment rate would likely decrease as the retail and service sectors that cater to the populations would be revitalized. That is assuming the military personnel themselves remain employed by the DOD.

Of course they could stay in the military if they want to. And the majority (except the reserves) would want to.

Thanks for the best answer, but I still believe they wouldn%26#039;t %26quot;opt out%26quot; unless they had another job lined up. Report It

|||They would still be employed, just restationed. So, nothing would happen to the unemployment rate. They sign for a stated amount of time. Until they stints are up, they do not have the option of just quitting. So no, they can%26#039;t just say%26quot; Ok, tour is over, home now, I quit%26quot;. And the influx of 1 or 2 hundred thousand in local economies across the country would get a very slight bump, but nothing substancial.|||Just because they come home doesn%26#039;t mean they still aren%26#039;t in the military.|||Unemployment rates won%26#039;t matter when Al Quaeda strikes ....|||Well regular military would still be employed, so no effect there. Reservists and national guard troops who are deployed, by law have be either given their old jobs back or a similar one. This would create some displacemen though, so it could put a little upward pressure on the unemployment rate. But deployed reservists and national guard troops are a very small percent of the total labor force, so the effect will likely be negligable.|||I thought they just got a leave from their jobs to fight for our wonderful country.|||Would probably go up.

If the MIlitary cut all it%26#039;s bases, that would mean that military funding was decreased.

Dont%26#039; think the government would be stupid enough to slash the budget this dramatically with out first being certain that there are enough jobs being created for them to fill.|||jurydoc is probably correct. If the half-million plus people who are overseas returned to the US, they would all need a place to live and food to eat, want to see movies and drive cars, and generally spend their money on consumer goods here in the US instead of foreign countries.|||Absolutely minimum impact for of those people already have a job line up. Hell we can some qualify skill personnel in all field. we hurt right now in must of the fields as far finding qualify people.|||Not a blip.

To begin with, the numbers aren%26#039;t that many. There are about 120K in Germany, 170K in the Middle East, about 35K in Korea. Throw another 100K scattered around and the numbers really aren%26#039;t that high.

But even with those limited numbers, most are active duty military who would still be in the military when they returned. Those not on active duty already had jobs when they left. Most of those are coming back to those jobs and those that, for some reason aren%26#039;t, are far better qualified to look for a job than most.|||Not every person in the military intends to be career military. They%26#039;ve got to come home sometime.

And there ARE actually military jobs here on U.S. soil, believe it or not. They aren%26#039;t suddenly unemployed simply because they%26#039;re not engaged in active combat.

Or are you suggesting we should keep them in the line of fire purely to be able to say our unemployment rate is %26quot;low%26quot;?

I%26#039;d say our unemployment rate is far more aggressively affected by the outsourcing of jobs to India than it would be by returning our military men and women to the U.S.

Why aren't liberals talking about how the unemployment rate has decreases by more than half in

Here%26#039;s the true stats back to 1999(Clinton):

2003 qIII , 6.033%

1999 qIII , 4.267%

1999 qII , 4.2%

1999 qI , 4.633%

I, personally, see an upward trend, not downward.

Another interesting stat to look at is US median income (in 2005 dollars):

2005 $47,716

2004 47,490

2003 47,772

2002 47,806

2001 48,073

2000 49,061

1999 49,067

So, not only are more people unemployed, those that are working have lower wages and less buying power.

And, why aren%26#039;t you talking about if this trading in Euros instead of dollars continues that the value of our dollar is going to shrink dramatically, meaning that people will have to have 2 or three full time jobs just to make ends meet. why don%26#039;t you mention that California is paying over $3.00 a gallon in gasoline the rest of the states are next. All the while the oil industry is taking in billions in subsidies (our tax money) that Bush gave the same oil industry. And, these same oil corporations are making billions in record profits while you and I are paying for the same tank of gasoline twice because of these subsidies. Oil per barrel is only $60 to $62. That means even more profits along with our tax dollar give aways.

How is the Gross Domestic Product related to the inflation rate and unemployment rate?

Inflation is the sudden increase of a product. Namely the product in this situation, a domestic product, such as pinesol maybe, can have a sudden price inflation if less workers are there (hence unemployment rate) to make the product to be sold. Since their is less of the product, that means the prices increase causing a inflation.

Heres a simple chart for you to observe

Workers Make%26gt;Pinesol%26gt;Pinesol production decreases suddenly because of lack of sales%26gt;Need for less workers%26gt;Less workers means higher unemployment rate%26gt;Suddenly Pinesol becomes famous%26gt;More workers needed but workers competent for task unavailable%26gt;Low number of Workers%26gt;Less Products%26gt;To make up for money price increase

The End

How is the Gross Domestic Product related to the inflation rate and unemployment rate?

The inflation rate and unemployment rate are expressed as a percentage of the GDP where GDP is used as the standard of measure.

Although we use the GDP as our standard, understand that when comparing our inflation or unemployment rates with countries in the EU that the standards are different because of inherent structural differences in criteria.

How does Underemployment and the underground economy affect the unemployment rate?

One thing you have t onsider is there are three types of unemployment.

1. which is the national average is designed to calculate everyone who is on unemployment.

2. Which is the unemployement rate for College educated people

(almost always 1.5% or less)

3. Which is the actual number of unemployeed people at any given time who may or may not be on unemployement

With this in mind, its an easy answer. lets say you have a degree in engineering. for whatever reason, engineering is eliminated. Now, although you have a degree you take a job at a factory. you are now under employeed. The reason you got the job is because you are beyond qualified. But the guy who was just qualified enough is now jobless.

you are underemployeed as a result of your new job, and the other guy who would have gotten the job is unemployeed

What can you suggest to government to decrease its unemployment rate?

The government doesn%26#039;t create jobs.

5 % of jobs are held by illegal immigrants. The unemployment rate is 5%. Your thoughts on this coinc

They were the last administration that ever cared about America%26#039;s working people.|||Our REAL unemployment rate is much higher. It only counts people getting unemployment checks. Not people looking for work. Proves to me we don%26#039;t NEED illegals because our own citizens NEED jobs!|||The unemployment rate is not determined by using those who can not work (disability) or even those who have run out of unemployment benefits. They actually calculate unemployment using the amount of people who are receiving an unemployment check, what happens when the employee runs out of benefits? they do not get counted, that%26#039;s what happens..... I suspect the unemployment rate is much higher than is reported (shocking, politicians trying to play down problems!!!!)

This would make that 5% that you speak of even more damaging.....|||The unemployment rate is much higher than 5%. That is just how many people are still on the government statistics. Those totals don%26#039;t cover the people who are refused or no longer receive unemployment benefits.|||Very interesting!|||Arguments like this make me sad. First of all, the unemployment is 4.4% check your stats. Second, it was 5.8% in the early 1990%26#039;s and it has since decreased as the illegal immigration increased.|||Has to be more than 5% of jobs that are held by illegals!!!!!

How do the following vary during the business cycle: inflation, unemployment rate, and inventory lev

i shouldn%26#039;t be doing your homewok for you, but since I%26#039;m bored i%26#039;ll help!

The 4 stages of the business cycle:

1) Early recovery(the upturn)- the economy begins to recover and growth in actual output resumes.

2)Full recovery (Expansion )-there is rapid economic growth( boom). Unemployment starts to decline by a fuller use of resources eg; human capital %26amp; machinery.People are employed and making money.Higher demands for goods and services exceeds supply.( firm inventory declines).This demand fuels a rise in prices, or inflation.

3) Early recession(peaking out)-growth slows down. When prices get too high, consumers decide goods are too expensive and demand decreases. When demand decreases, companies lay off workers because they don%26#039;t need to make as many goods or provide as much services.The economy enters a recession.

4) Full recession( the slump)-there is neglible growth in the economy due to lowered demand. (high/accumulated inventory)Firms will cut prices to spur demand. As demand picks up, people begin buying again, fueling the need for greater supply. And the cycle goes back to the beginning.

Why do people bash Bush on the economy when the unemployment rate is lower than when Clinton was in

Are liberals really THAT brainwashed????

Why do people bash Bush on the economy when the unemployment rate is lower than when Clinton was in office?payday loan

Because they can%26#039;t understand that Clinton left the recession. Clinton%26#039;s fiscal policy ended in October of 2001. It is an economic fact that unemployment lags the economy by almost 1 1/2 years. So, the job losses in 2000-2002 could virtually be attributed to the incompetence of Clinton%26#039;s fiscal policy and inept US security policies from 9/11 as that did affect the economy.

But, evidently, liberals think that getting blown by an intern is more important than being presidential.

It%26#039;s kind of hard to give you some ideas for your resume without knowing you, but I can offer some suggestions while you are job searching:

The most important thing to remember about job searches is that you should use a combination of methods regardless of your location.

Networking - Register at your local Unemployment Office (you don%26#039;t need to be on unemployment to register for their assistance). They often will have networking groups on a regular basis. They also are a good source for the jobs that never show up in the paper or online.

Check your local paper -- In many cases the paper%26#039;s classified are now online.

Search Smart Online -- If you don%26#039;t have a lot of time, spend most of your time at sites that aggregate the job feeds from several job search engines. Prominently these include indeed.com and thingamajob.com.

Organization -- I use a free online application that allows you to track your ads, jobs you apply for, send or print mail merged correspondence, and track your job search history. This site is jobsearchlog.com and it has been very useful to me, please go and check it out!

Good Luck,

Do you really think it was the President's fault that the unemployment rate has gone down durin

Yes. Slowest Pace of Job Creation Since the 1930s

* The Bush Administration is the first in over 70 years to experience no net private sector job creation. (U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics)

* The current employment upturn is shaping up to be the weakest of modern business cycles. By this time during the recession of the early 1990s, the economy had already generated 6.8 million new jobs. Under the Bush Administration, fewer than 2.5 million new jobs have been created since the last recession ended in November 2001. (Long Road to Zero, Center for American Progress, 6/2/05)

* The overall unemployment rate remains above 5 percent, with 1.6 million more unemployed Americans now than at the start of the Bush presidency.

* Long-term unemployment has more than doubled to 1.53 million Americans during the Bush Administration. The Labor Department%26#039;s latest report showed that one in five unemployed persons are out of work for more than 26 weeks. (U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics)

Five Years of Failed Republican Leadership: Manufacturing Jobs in Steep Decline

* A total of 2.8 million jobs have been lost in the manufacturing sector since President Bush took office. (U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics)

* Manufacturing jobs represent 11 percent of U.S. non-farm employment, but have accounted for about 120 percent of jobs lost during the Bush Administration. (U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics)

* Manufacturing employment is now at the lowest level in 50 years. (U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics)

* The downward trend continues with factories cutting employment in eight of the last nine months (U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics) and General Motors announcing plans to eliminate at least 25,000 manufacturing jobs in the United States by the end of 2008. (Bloomberg, 6/7/05)

Republicans Do Nothing As U.S. Jobs Move Overseas

* Overall private sector employment was hurt by job losses at U.S. multinational companies who shifted more jobs to their overseas operations.

* These firms reduced their U.S. workforce by 2.1 percent in 2003, following a 3.0 percent reduction in 2002 and a 4.1 percent reduction in 2001. (Bureau of Economic Analysis, April 2005)

* At the same time, employment at their foreign affiliates based overseas increased by 1.2 percent in 2003, following a 1.0 percent increase in 2002 and a 0.1 percent increase in 2001. (Bureau of Economic Analysis, April 2005)

Majority of Americans Continue to Say Jobs Are Hard to Find

* According to the Pew Research Center, the percentage of Americans expressing that jobs remain hard to find in their communities rose from 55 percent in August 2004 to 60 percent in May 2005. (Economic Concerns Fueled by Many Woes, Pew Research Center, 6/1/05)

* While lower-income workers are most troubled by job shortages, nearly half of those with household incomes greater than $75,000 a year said that jobs are scarce. (Economic Concerns Fueled by Many Woes, Pew Research Center, 6/1/05)

* Seventy-one percent of Americans believe the job situation is a very big or big problem. Only 18 percent of the public believe that national economic conditions a year from now will be better than they are currently, a decline from 36 percent in August 2004. (Economic Concerns Fueled by Many Woes, Pew Research Center, 6/1/05)

Income Disparity Rising With Record Bonuses for Corporate Executives and Shrinking Wages for the Rest of America%26#039;s Workers

* Average salary increases for executives at the top of the pay scale rose by 5 percent in 2004. Average bonuses however, jumped by 17 percent. (Towers Perrin, May 2005)

* CEOs at petroleum companies and metal manufacturing firms experienced among the highest bonus increases, with an average increase of 52% and 56%, respectively. (Towers Perrin, May 2005)

* Meanwhile, real wages are falling at their fastest rate in 14 years. (Financial Times, 5/10/05)

* The Labor Department reported a disappointing $16.03 in real average hourly earnings for the month of May-below the $16.07 level when the recession ended in November 2001. (U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics)

* These depressed numbers mean that hourly wages are lagging behind inflation, which came in at 3.5 percent in April.

* A report by the Financial Times and the Economic Policy Institute warned: %26quot;Stingy pay rises mean many Americans will have to work longer hours to keep up with the cost of living, and they could ultimately undermine consumer spending and economic growth.%26quot; (Financial Times, 5/10/05)

* According to a recent poll, 1 in 5 middle income families said they did not have enough money last year for medical care and other necessities. Nearly 6 in 10 Americans said they do not earn enough to lead the kind of life they want. (Economic Concerns Fueled by Many Woes, Pew Research Center

What does real GDP up 3% from a year ago and an Unemployment rate of 4.6% mean?

GDP refers to gross domestic product, the increase in 3 percent means that there is more wealth circulating around in the community. If population and wealth both go up by the same factor (such as the ratio between people and wealth stays the same) then the GDP still stays the same, since it went up, there is a higher domestic product overall.

Unemployment rate of 4.6 percent means that 4.6 percent of the population that is able to work and is looking for work, is also unemployed. People that have stopped the job search or are retired do not fit in this ratio. Therefore this is practically a measure of how many people are unemployed that are actually wanting a job.

Here in London, were always being told there%26#039;s lots of unemployment in the East End, which I find hard to believe because whenever I go there it%26#039;s a busy street market situation.

No, I think the worst unemployment figures are probably in the towns and cities of the West of England.

India, China and Mexico. . . that is where the jobs are.

So many jobs are going unfilled because companies are downsizing without making the announcment. It is easier to have 5 or 6 jobs spread out between 3 or 4 people than it is to hire 5 or 6 new employees, train them and then wait for productivity and ROI.

Republican and currently the 3 major government contractors have full staffs and unemployment is low .

that%26#039;s not true. The number of people collecting is only one aspect of how they determine that number.

If you go to the labor departments website they have more detail on how they compute the number|||I know that unemployment is the lowest that it%26#039;s been in 50 years.

That means 170 million people are not working, or at least not paying taxes. I guess you would have to not count the entire population, because some are retired elderly, or underage children, or disabled, or illegal? Interesting. I would like to know the percentages of each group.|||are you including student, and retirees where did you get your sources from?
