Unemployment Rates
Why doesn’t the employment rate and unemployment rate always add up to 100%?
Why, and how is it possible that both the employment and unemployment rates have risen at certain period in the latter part of the 20th century?
In general terms, how is unemployment calculated? Why is 0% unemployment unrealistic?

Consumer Price Index - Inflation
What is a price index, and specifically the Consumer Price Index?
How does the market basket help create this index?
Why, like the GDP, does price stability appear as a percent?

Consumer Price Index (CPI)
