of legal tender money the proposed new approach calls for understanding money by correctly applying to it the principles of general accounting we think it will be important to further deepen the study of the implications of the new approach at april 05 2020 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday april 2 2020 how might that affect the unemployment rate the graph from monitoring real activity in real time the weekly economic index the sudden drop at the recent end of the graph is mostly the result of new initial unemployment claims in response to the pandemic from the article at liberty street economics the effects of the pandemic become visible in the week ending march 21 this week saw an unprecedented 3 28 million ui claims a sharp decline in consumer confidence and fuel sales and a more modest decline in steel production but also a countervailing surge in retail sales as consumers took to stores to stock up in spite of this positive signal from retail sales and the relatively mild declines in some other series the ui release drove the wei to a level not seen since the 2008 financial crisis their graph goes back just far enough in time to show that the decline of 2008 09 was a relatively slow one as compared to the drop of the week ending march 21st even one week before 21 march the graph shows no indication that such a drop was coming yes we might have known but even in closeup the initial claims data offer only the slightest hint initial claims for the week ending 21 march what struck me about this is that there is not something wrong with the economy back in 08 when there was clearly something wrong with the economy it took time for the crisis to develop i ve seen a few graphs that show the peak as far back as 2005 or 2004 here initial unemployment claims were decreasing thru the seventh of march they show what would ordinarily be a substantial but still ordinary increase on the 14th and then the increase of over three million the following week there was something wrong with the economy 15 years back which led to the financial crisis of 2008 but given the new normal where 2 growth is called good there was nothing wrong with our economy in mid march i think that s good i think it means we should be able to have a rapid recovery once the pandemic is behind us because there s nothing wrong with the economy economic declines are always more rapid than recoveries of course because recoveries require rebuilding declines don t all we have to do is stop our economy could not possibly recover in a week but it should be able to recover back to that new normal much more quickly than it did after the financial crisis if all goes well what could go wrong we could default on our debts enough to start a chain reaction which creates another financial crisis i m sure there are other things that could go wrong but my mind always goes back to debt if our debt was low not the federal debt our debt the chance of a chain reaction would be less the federal debt back at the end of world war two was more than gdp but debt for the rest of us was only about half the size of gdp our debt today is more than twice the size of federal and two and a half times the size of gdp federal debt blue and everyone else s debt red as percent of gdp if our debt went from half of gdp to two and a half of gdp the risk of a chain reaction debt implosion became what five times worse the initial claims for 21 march indicates that 3 283 000 people filed for unemployment benefits that week how might that affect the unemployment rate sometime back i figured out how the unemployment rate relates to the number of people unemployed multiply the unemployment rate by the size of the civilian labor force and divide by 100 to get rid of the percent thing to get the number of people who are unemployed you could go the other way and divide the number unemployed by the civilian labor force then multiply by 100 to get the unemployment rate to preserve my sanity i will assume no change in the size of the civilian labor force i will also assume no one was hired so that the initial claims number is the net change in the number of people who are working that s not perfect but i think it must be ballpark the count of people who were unemployed in february was 5787 thousand or 5 787 000 the civilian labor force in february was 164 546 thousand or 164 546 000 5787 divided by 164 546 equals 0 035 so 3 5 this matches the unemployment rate given in the fred data now take the count of people who were unemployed as of february and add the 3 283 000 who lost their jobs during the week ending 21 march 5 787 000 3 283 000 9 070 000 divide 9070 by 164 546 to get the new estimated unemployment rate 0 055 or 5 5 based on that one week s data alone the unemployment rate could rise from 3 5 to 5 5 that s an increase of two percentage points divide 2 0 by the initial claims number of 21 march and multiply by a million to see how much the unemployment rate changes for every additional million people unemployed a 0 6 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate for every million people to preserve my sanity i assumed some things that won t turn out to be true to make up for that take the 0 6 per million and call it half a percent for every million people added to the unemployment rolls unemployment will go up an additional half a percent maybe more three million additional unemployed adds 1 5 or more to the february rate of 3 5 due to some quirk in the timing of data collection and reporting or so i hear the 3 283 000 who lost their jobs will not be reflected in the unemployment rate number for march i dunno but 3 5 unemployment plus 1 5 more unemployment comes to 5 unemployment and that s a change that happened in one week the last time we had a 5 unemployment rate was september 2016 economic declines are always more rapid than recoveries well it s no longer march after i got this thing written i checked fred s initial claims data and sure enough the number is out for 28 march 6 648 000 that s on top of the three million who lost their jobs last week six or seven million people at a half percent higher unemployment rate per million comes to an increase of 3 or 3 5 and that s on top of the 5 rate after the week of 21 march so say an unemployment rate of 8 or 9 percent after the week of 28 march how high it goes after that i can t say initial claims for the week ending 28 march note the slight increase in the number for week ending 21 march usually i prefer line graphs but here a line graph made it look like we had a three million increase in unemployment last week and another three million this week that s not it three million last week and another six million this week closer to seven these increases occurred when they did not directly because of the pandemic but directly because of the response to the pandemic the closing of businesses and all unemployment will not keep rising the way the number of covid 19 cases keeps rising i can t guess when unemployment will stop the insane increase but that will come first and then the pandemic will show signs of

subscribe to posts atom why economists must think in terms of the cycle of civilization i ve been hearing the phrase late capitalism for so long that i m forced to conclude that the very concept of late cap looks like vigor to me went to harbor freight the other day when i left there was so much traffic i had to fight my way out of the parking lot at one p m on let s see if this one gets me into trouble as i write this it is mid october in an even numbered year elections are weeks away yesterday i saw republican candidates heavily adver not the rate of interest but the cost of finance not inflation but the decline of growth it is surely true that the price level cannot rise without a corresponding increase in the quantity of money or velocity or use of credit the most important difference between cost push and demand pull inflation i m not a fan of diagrams in economics but sometimes this is a screen capture of slide 36 from a slideshare presentatio federal debt is the measure of economic troubles in the private sector not the cause of them the cause is excessive private sector debt private debt is too big and too costly it slows the economy it slows income growth it makes decent jobs scarce we lost our greatness to excessive private sector debt we can regain american greatness by reducing private debt if we do so before china has all the greatness note that we
