Mgta01 intro to business week 8. { gdp growth a measure of progress . Total value of all goods and services produced by an economic system. Large gdp:many workers, using many factors, producing many things of high value (typically, in a year). As the population grows, we need more food, more clothing, more shelter. Gdp per capita value of all goods and service produced number of people who get to share that. Review: gdp per capita not a perfect measure of prosperity. Employment; the ability to get and keep a job. Unemployment = wanting a job, but not finding one! Unemployment rate : % of people who are actively looking for work, but can"t find work. Gdp (this number is smaller that it could be) /population. Some people who want work can"t find it. Some people doing less than they could: less is being produced, less available to be consumed. Unemployment rate jumped in 2020 due to covid.
