Talk:Unemployment types
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] McJob
I don't think using the term "McJob" is appropriate for this article, as it's intended to slander a particular company which actually has pretty decent benefits and wages compared to it's competitors. -- 67.34.232.41
[edit] Cyclical unemployment
This term is mentioned several times in this article, but is never defined. Cyclical unemployment links back to Unemployment types however, so it should be explained on this page. Could one of you economist types add a section for that? -- Kimiko 20:10, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Hmm, it turns out that on December 26, an anonymous User:59.182.23.181 removed the sections for classical and cyclical unemployment. Those are the only changes on their contribution page. No reason was given for them. I am not an economist, so I have no idea if this removal is legitimate or vandalism. Can someone knowledgeable help please? -- Kimiko 20:55, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
"Economists distinguish between five major kinds of unemployment, i.e., cyclical, frictional, structural, classical, and Marxian."
This is quite misleading. Marxian unemployment is not at all widely recognized among economists as a "major kind" of unemployment.
