  • We just learned about the labor force, but what about those who are unemployed? What are the reasons that people might be unemployed? What does this signify about an economy? Is it possible or desirable for there to be zero unemployment? Let's dig into this concept now!

    You didn't say WHY it's impossible to have %0 unemployment.
    In a nutshell, it's not good for business. Employers must be able to extract as much value out of their employees as possible, and they can do that partly by always indirectly threatening them with unemployment, as there exist many people who can take their place. Job security is not profitable.

      @typhlosionisbest 2 года назад +4

      Your explanation talks about why it's not recommended or isn't happening, not impossible. The structural unemployment slides speak to me the most, so I'll use that type for an example. Say everyone is employed. Some people's jobs are to make other human tasks more efficient, and as technology advances, the human is removed from that task. If someone's aim was to stop technology from removing humans from their tasks, one way to do that would be stopping the people that advance this technology from doing their jobs. If those people are not needed, their position would become obsolete, and they would be affected by structural unemployment.
      Preserving the labor force of one industry in this example would mean putting the humans in the other out of work, since there will be less tasks than people available to do them no matter which way the scale tips. Either employers take on advancements to increase their employees' efficiency, eventually eliminating one or two employees at a time, or inventors are driven out of work.
      Someone could say that these employees could work alongside the technology, but the only way to keep all of the employees would be to expand the business, and space for expansion is finite. Even if all employees work from home, some of technology's next advancements would be to make the human side of even their work-from-home tasks more efficient, and eventually, fully automated. There won't be room for everyone.

      @@chadliampearcy Well, I didn't read that much yet, though I own the main work of Pierre Bourdieu and Niklas Luhmann(those are difficult to read and also much to read). But I'm thinking very much about the concepts in my head, especially habitus concept and system theory. Habitus is pretty important for things like social inequality between gender, race, class and sociology of knowledge and science.
      What I don't like are socialbiologists who actually think the social differences of races and gender in our society are a natural order. Which is called biologism(an ideology actually) and some evolutionare biologists tend to such views, which is totally idiotic to think if you know the sociological perspective. Sociology can explain society so much better than biology. The latter is just a whole fallacy.

      @chadliampearcy 2 года назад

      @@wasanderesalsihrseid Thanks for the recommendations. I will check them out or at least add them to my library.
      I'm unsure where I stand on the question of which 'social differences' are natural and which are while, 'social'. The most important thing to me is that humans and other animals are not regarded as that different. I take issue with any theory that makes a huge differentiation between us and other animals. Yes, there are things that make us uniquely human, but we are like other animals all the same.
      Of course I am of belief that 'human races' are fundamentally the same, the social differences are cultural if anything, while the biological differences are things like skin tone and hair and maybe things like disease resistance. We're not very different. I don't believe there would be enough selection pressure for 'real differences'. A 'german' family may be 'smarter' than another 'german' family but somewhere else there would be a 'slav' family just as 'smart'. There are more differences within a race than between races. If Neanderthals were still around I might've begged to differ, but they're all dead.
      If there were social differences of genders across different societies in humans that would be a social or cultural difference. But if it were among species, it would be quite the question.
      I tend to think that what may be 'common' may be 'the natural order' allowing for some discrepancies. It may not be just the same. If there are differences in something there's probably not a 'natural order' to it.
      I think the question is a rather fundamental one in the field of research and we should study a topic with both hypothesizes in mind.

      Especially since people are so opposed to change and entrenched in the idea of “it’s always been this way so it will always be this way”. As foolish as this is, it’s super prevalent and detrimental to us all.
      As much as things have changed in modern times, so many things really do remain the same, such as our homes, being built on sight with old materials.
      Plus the way contractors work, which is to build or repair homes in a way that makes future repairs very hard to do, it’s actuality a mentally of “i won’t be the person to do the next repair, so let’s do this the easiest way even if it’s going to fail and require repair in the future, as long as I get paid and the owner thinks it works then it’s a job well done. If you’re in hvac then I’m not telling you about the concept of “F-- the next guy and the homeowner” I’m sure you encounter it daily! I’m a novice but I often terrible repairs that even I can do better with my minimal skills and knowledge… things like exposed coolant lines or ductwork that hang down and take a route that’s longer than needed, poorly sealed plenum. My home should have atleast 1 more return air vent to help distribution… usually I’m told I need to add more vents to pump out more cold air to the warm rooms. 🙄
