Absolute employment

Absolute employment

Absolute employment is a measure of the proportion of the total population that is employed. Children of any age, seniors, and those unable to work are counted as unemployed.

This measure is not commonly used in economics, economists prefer to measure employment/unemployment as percentages or ratios.
