Suppose changes in the age structure of the workforce meant


In the Case in Point on page 642, the cost of cyclical unemployment was estimated for 2002 by assuming that the unemployment rate associated with full employment was 5 percent. Suppose changes in the age structure of the workforce meant that full employment in 2002 was actually associated with an unemployment rate of 4.5 percent rather than the 5 percent figure used earlier. Recalculate the output costs of the recession. Explain why they are higher.
