How does unemployment affect consumer supply?

by rousearts

Question by : How does unemployment affect consumer supply?
I have to write a 15 page paper and do a 15 slide PowerPoint. I chose to do mine on unemployment and how different components effect it or are affected by it. Right now I’m focusing on how unemployment has affected consumer supply as well as government spending.

So, how does unemployment affect consumer supply? How does it affect government spending? If possible, please provide resources or guide me to places I can find good, strong info.

Thanks!

Answer by rocky
The answers are somewhat intuitive AND you should be able to find graphs correlating unemployment figures corresponding with levels of government expenditures. Government spending first; as unemployment rises there are more claims for benefits. Financial aid being the government expense which obviously increases as a direct result of these claims. As far as consumer supply being affected by unemployment; this as an indirect result of supply and demand. As lesser amounts of money are available for the purchase of goods, fewer goods are sold. As the demand lessens so does sales forecasts. These forecasts result in fewer orders placed with manufacturers. Retailers do not want to hold onto excessive inventory which is costly both from the perspective of cash/credit outlay and for storage costs. The smaller orders for manufactured goods is the same as smaller consumer supply levels. This is the same for retail and wholesale goods. All of the above are spiraling effects and they are not easily reversed.

Breaking News: Senator Grassley lifting hold on HR 3012 – Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act

peerallylaw.com http Phone (510) 7425887 The Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act, HR 3012 MEMORANDUM TO: Reporters and Editors RE: the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act, HR 3012 DA: Wednesday, July 11, 2012 Senator Chuck Grassley today put the following statement in The Congressional Record regarding lifting his hold on HR 3012, the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act. Mr. President, Today, I lift my hold on HR 3012, the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act. This bill would eliminate the per-country numerical limitations for employment–based immigrants and change the per-country numerical limitations for family-based immigrants. When I placed a hold on the bill, I was concerned that the bill did nothing to better protect Americans at home who seek high-skilled jobs during this time of record unemployment. Today, I lift my hold because I have reached an agreement with the senior Senator from New York, the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Refugees and Border Security. www.grassley.senate.gov

euronews interview – ILO leader calls for urgent action on Youth unemployment

www.euronews.com There are nearly 25 million unemployed in Europe, of whom more than 17 million are in the eurozone. One in five young people in the EU cannot find a job, that is nearly five million youngsters. In some countries the rate of youth unemployment exceeds 40 percent. To open the interview euronews reporter Fariba Mavaddat reminded Guy Ryder, the newly elected Director of the United Nation’s International Labour Organisation, the ILO, of what he said in his inaugural speech in May: “It is a tremendous opportunity in the middle of this global crisis to make a difference to the lives of millions of people.” So, how does he intend to do that? *Guy Ryder:* “Well, you have described the drama of the European unemployment crisis and I really believe it is dramatic. What I said in my inaugural speech was that the ILO, if it is to be a success, has to touch the lives of these people. “We can do it in very different ways. We can do it through working with the ILO member states. It is a world organisation with 185 member governments. We can do it through them, we can do it through cooperation activities, technical cooperation in a variety of ways, we can do it by trying to influence the international policy agenda, so that we can get the growth and job creation back into the world economy that is so badly missing at the moment. “I think the ILO has a role in all of these areas and I intend to do my best to ensure that we fulfil that role.” *euronews:* “You called on …

The Tegu Story: Magnetic Wooden Toys to Change a Nation

View more at www.tegu.com Brothers Chris and Will Haughey didn’t start Tegu with toys on their mind. In fact, the company began with the simple notion that Honduras needed businesses which offered living wage jobs. Home to beautiful hardwoods, the country could have been the perfect spot for sustainably manufacturing any number of wooden products. However, the brothers were inspired by classic wooden toys on a trip to Europe and embarked on a quest to breathe new life into an old industry. Today, Tegu blocks inspire children while addressing unemployment, neglected natural and human resources, and the need for entrepreneurship in Honduras. “Click-Clack”. It’s the iconic sound of two Tegu Blocks coming together. Tegu has reinvented the wooden block in a way that brings new life to a favored classic. By safely embedding magnets into each magnetic wooden block, Tegu Blocks become curiously attractive for both kids and kids at heart. Defy gravity and push your imagination in ways never before possible. No instruction manuals or electronics, just wooden toys that demand imagination and inspire limitless creativity across all ages. Open-ended play is endangered, but we’re bringing it back with these construction toys. Created with beautiful Honduran hardwoods and safe water-based finishes, these building blocks have proven wildly addictive for kids (and kids at heart) and will encourage the simple joy of creating for generations. There is something magical about watching a …
