Talk:Types of unemployment

message: This article should be converted to a disambiguation page with each type of unemployment getting its own main page. Keeping all of the unemployment types grounded on this page will stunt their growth.=PSmallman12q (talk) 14:57, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: But they are not all grounded on this page! There are full articles for several of the main types of unemployment mentioned here! I think the current format is pretty good, though I would support the idea of starting pages for some of the types that don't yet have their own pages. --Rinconsoleao (talk) 14:14, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

message: 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
:It might be inappropriate due to being too informal and unencyclopedic if used in the wrong context but wikipedia is here to provide information that's factual and informative, not to cater to the MacDonald corporation's feelings. Why is McJob "slander" but something like the "big mac index" a legitimate subject? --I (talk) 17:18, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

message: I noticed while cleaning up some grammar and spelling that the latter few paragraphs of Structural Unemployment focus heavily on Gorz. There are three whole paragraphs that quote him verbatiem. I don't know anything about this topic, but is this appropriate?

replies: text: Not in my opinion. He is not a leading figure in the definition of the subject. I guess he is just one of many critics. --HJensen, talk 06:44, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

message: 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)

message: Is Real Wage Unemployment the same as Classical Unemployment and, if so, does it deserve a mention?

message: I have rewritten the section on frictional unemployment according to how this was defined in the 1980s. Now I am noticing a significant overlap in definition with what is presently written about structural unemployment. Not sure how to proceed from here. IMHO, structural unemployment relates to long-term factors only. Guido den Broeder 14:41, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Surely better English would be to call this article "Types of Unemployment", or even "Kinds of Unemployment"? Thedreamdied 12:19, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it would. 'Kinds of' is used most, but since a classification is suggested, I'd go for the more formal 'types of'. Regards, Guido den Broeder 13:22, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Naming 

message: Aside from issue of repeatedly reverting & inserting of self-reference against COI/N and Rfc, only fair to acknowledge Guido den Broeder's point above linking to WP:RS/N discussion that theses can in principle be a RS. This acknowledgement needed to revise my previous absolutist rejection of theses. I must say that theses do not (on my initial reading) seem directly covered by Wikipedia:RS#Scholarship section, which repeatedly mentions peer-review journals as a aspired level. Anyway thanks GBD for that talk-thread link, and I've leant something new today (the various editors' raised cautions and caveats still makes this a tricky area).

message: The 'U-V curve' Guido den Broeden mentioned was redlinked because nowadays it is more commonly called a Beveridge curve. It is a standard part of the mainstream model of frictional unemployment nowadays, called search theory. So I think the paragraph is appropriate. The references included in the paragraph are less so. Guido's self-cite is not appropriate, of course, so finding other references would be helpful.--Rinconsoleao (talk) 07:35, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
