3.1%; 7.3%

Explanation:

Suppose that in an economy the structural unemployment rate is 2.2 percent, the natural unemployment rate is 5.3 percent, and the cyclical unemployment rate is 2 percent. The frictional unemployment rate is 3.1 percent and the actual unemployment rate (in this economy) is 7.3 percent.

1. Natural Unemployment rate = Structural Unemployment + Frictional Unemployment

5.3% = 2.2% + Frictional Unemployment

Frictional Unemployment = 5.3% - 2.2%

= 3.1%

2. Actual Unemployment = Cyclical Unemployment + Natural Unemployment

= 2% + 5.3%

= 7.3%

the old way of life was represented by superstition, an angry god, and absolute submission to authority. the thinkers of the age of reason ushered in a new way of thinking. this new way championed the accomplishments of humankind. individuals did not have to accept despair. science and reason could bring happiness and progress. kings did not rule by divine right. they had an obligation to their subjects. europeans pondered the implications for nearly a century. americans put them into practice first.
