Each month, the official unemployment rate provides the share of the labor force unemployed\u00a0<em>in that month.\u00a0<\/em>But this understates the number of people who are unemployed at some point over a longer period, since someone who is employed in one month may become unemployed the next, and vice versa. \u00a0So the official annual unemployment rate\u2014which is actually the\u00a0<em>average monthly<\/em>\u00a0unemployment rate for the year\u2014is much lower than the share of the workforce that experienced unemployment at some point during the\u00a0year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">The figure below, from\u00a0<span style=\"color:#0000ff;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.stateofworkingamerica.org\/\"><span style=\"color:#0000ff;\"><em>El<\/em>\u00a0<em>State of Working America<\/em>,\u00a0<em>12th Edition<\/em><\/span><\/a><\/span><em>\u00a0<\/em>(and updated with new\u00a0<span style=\"color:#0000ff;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bls.gov\/news.release\/work.htm\"><span style=\"color:#0000ff;\">data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics<\/span><\/a><\/span>) shows both the official unemployment rate and the \u201cover-the-year\u201d unemployment rate\u2014the share of workers who experienced unemployment at some point during the year. Using the ratio of the over-the-year unemployment rate to the official unemployment rate in 2011, we can project the over-the-year unemployment rate for 2012 and 2013.
