Historical data show that during the recession of 1990–1991, the natural rate of unemployment was about 5.9% while the actual unemployment rate was 7.0%. A decade later, during the 2001 recession, the natural rate of unemployment fell to 4.8% while actual unemployment was 6.0%. Using this information, which of the following statements is correct regarding these two short recessions? The actual unemployment rate was higher in 2001, while cyclical unemployment was higher from 1990−1991. Both the actual unemployment rate and cyclical unemployment were higher during the 2001 recession. Both the actual unemployment rate and cyclical unemployment were higher during the recession of 1990−1991. The actual unemployment rate was higher during the recession of 1990−1991, while cyclical unemployment was higher in 2001.

The actual unemployment rate was higher during the recession of 1990−1991, while cyclical unemployment was higher in 2001.

Explanation:

Given data in the question

In the year 1990-1991

The natural rate of unemployment = 5.9%

The rate of the actual unemployment = 7.0%

In the year 2001

The natural rate of unemployment = 4.8%

The actual unemployment rate = 6.0%

As we can see that

The actual unemployment is high in the year 1990-1991 i.e 7.0% as compare to the year 2001 i.e 6.0%

While the cyclical unemployment rate is high in 2001 i.e 1.2% (6.0 - 4.8%) as compare to the year 1990-1191 i.e 1.1% (7.0% - 5.9%)

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
