Abstract
This paper discusses the effects of unemployment on the crime rates in New York City in the past few years. Initially, the paper focuses on data and statistics concerning the correlation between the increase in unemployment rates and subsequent increases in crime. The paper then attempts to demonstrate that an increase in the unemployment rate leads to an increase in the crime rate in New York City. The paper also discusses three theories that can explain this positive correlation between unemployment rate and crime rate.
From the Paper
"In the graph (New York Crime Rates 1976-2000) that follows we see that the Crime rates for the same ten year period have actually decreased every year. This is the case in spite of fluctuations in the unemployment rate. There are several reasons why these anomalies exist. The first factor involves an increase in law enforcement personnel and the city?s more aggressive stance on crime. In addition, these statistics ignore many important factors such as race because unemployment rates among minorities are higher. In addition, it does not explain crime rates in neighborhoods where the unemployment rates are higher. Without these factors it is difficult to see the whole picture and what is really happening in these underemployed neighborhoods."

Abstract
This paper states that the author wants to test the hypothesis that the larger the unemployment rate, the larger the number of crimes that will be committed. The author proposes that reviewing the available literature provides the best method to determine the type and frequency of crimes and then tries to compare this information against employment figures. The paper explains that this mega-research offers much insight into how unemployment can affect the crime rate and why it is important that this issue be dealt with.

From the Paper
"All of these variables can be defined in a very straightforward manner, and they can be discovered through information found in the research of others. Most of the research variables that this research intends to study have been studied before, but looking at so many variables in one study is not all that common. Most often, only one or two variables are examined, and while this brings clarity of focus to the particular study, it does not allow for consideration of the many other factors that may be important. This clarity of focus on only one or two things often brings confusion about the larger issue, and since it does not take into account the many other reasons that may affect someone's decision to commit a criminal act, many limitations are involved that could have been removed had the study examined more potential variables in an effort to see the whole picture, rather than just a part of it."

Abstract
A large increase in rates could deter new investment and signal a slowdown for the booming economy; nevertheless, the government may persist in raising the rates. This paper looks closely at the various effects this rise will have on the market, employment, and investment.
From the Paper
"To combat inflation, the Fed adjusts the Federal Funds rate and the discount rates to tighten the money supply. This is the rate of interest the Fed charges major financial institutions. When the Fed increases the prime rate, this signals a rise in other interest rates. Long-term interest rates are affected more by the expectations of investors; if they believe inflation will rise in the future, they will demand a higher return on their fixed income investments, causing long-term interest rates to rise. Inflation triggers further rises in interest rates because lenders want to be compensated for inflation when they lend money. The greater the rate of inflation, the faster real purchasing power decreases."

How Do You Rate the Rating Enforcers?, 2001.

Abstract
A paper about the problems with the MPAA, The Motion Picture Association of America and their rating system. The author describes what the MPAA is, their role, and strategies for rating, revealing their inconsistencies and inherent biasness in certain aspects.
From the Paper
"We finally reach a point where we have to ask if the MPAA is doing a ?good? job. I have found that the MPAA often has the right idea, but seems to continuously fall short when rating movies. By falling short, I mean that there are constant inconsistencies in film ratings dealing with moral aspects (homosexual content, violence, etc.) These problems need to be further addressed and solutions,such as the ones mentioned above, need to be considered. The effectiveness of ratings also needs to be addressed. As is, ratings are not as effective as one might hope they would be. Evidence has proven this by showing lack of consistency, bias, confusion, etc. Rating films is not a ?bad? idea, but their current state is not really working. The MPAA needs to focus more on just explaining what is in the films instead of over-rating them to the point of forcing film makers to edit their creativity."

Abstract
This paper examines how the population of Native American residents in the United States has been plagued by a myriad of problems since their existence. It discusses how the staggering statistics regarding unemployment in the Native American population directly influences four major social issues: crime, poverty, substance abuse and education. It looks at how numerous factors contribute to the lack of employment for residents on reservations, particularly the desire to preserve a strong cultural identity.

Introduction
Unemployment and Crime
Unemployment and Poverty
Unemployment and Substance Abuse
Unemployment and Education
Current Trends for Native Americans
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Poverty on Indian reservations is highly prevalent for a number of reasons, including geographic isolation and economic history (Ambler 9). As a result of a strong love and commitment to reservation land, the majority of Native Americans choose to remain in those surroundings despite their limited economic opportunities. Therefore, in some ways, many Native Americans are bound to a life of poverty and economic disparity. However, another significant contributing factor is the lack of governmental control over reservation activities. This lack of control has led to extremely limited opportunities for economic stability since business and industry other than agriculture is very limited or nonexistent on reservations, with the exception of reservation casinos. High unemployment rates are perhaps the most detrimental factor in poverty statistics, since jobless adults are unable to make ends meet and often fear that their living conditions will result in many permanent consequences."

Unemployment in the E.U., 2005.

Abstract
This paper discusses the impacts of joining the European Union, or the E.U. Member countries saw a drastic increase in unemployment rates as a result of their joining the E.U. This paper discusses some of the causes, where these events hit the hardest, and what could be done to prevent unemployment in the 21st Century.
From the Paper
"With the formation of the European Union, many of these regulations were either superceded or removed to foster additional competitive forces within the labor and economic markets. Workers were allowed to move from one employer to another faster with the elimination of employment contracts, and more eager employers. The existing hiring process had been a lengthy one due to this difficult firing process. ?Government-run job creation measures have made some impact on joblessness, but of greater significance is the growing flexibility of the labour market combined with a quickening of economic growth across the continent? (Lloyd, 22, 2000). Employers were now cutting this time because of an increased ability to release non-performing employees easier."

Abstract
This paper discusses whether immigration affects unemployment rates and what are the implications of the findings in this paper to the future of immigration and national growth and prosperity of the U.S.
From the Paper
"Dynamics of social movements within and outside of the United States have been influenced by events significant to the development of human society through the years. Of particular interest are the territorial and social movements of European nationals from Europe to the United States during the World Wars I and II. The effects of war and ongoing chaos and occurrence of tyranny in Europe resulted to the displacement of Europeans, and the United States, through a series of legislations, allowed access to the European nationals in their country during times of war and conflict."

From the Paper
"Unemployment is one of the major economic problems affecting a nation. The United States, one of the vibrant economies in the world currently suffers from a huge unemployment crisis with more than 8 million people in the civilian workforce without jobs. After a decade of continued and consistent growth (1990 to 2000), which saw a growing GDP and a booming economy, there started a period of recession. Unemployment rates reached a recent high of 6.1% in June 2003. The loss of productivity and the extended unemployment benefits have created additional strain on the already deficient federal budget, which in turn has resulted in higher burden for the tax paying citizens. Let us analyze the underlying causes for unemployment, the unemployment support and provisions offered by the government and the effects of unemployment on the individual as well as the national economy as a whole."

Unemployment and Poverty, 2006.
Compares the different relationship that unemployment and poverty has in developed countries to the relationship they have in developing countries.

Abstract
This paper argues that linkages between unemployment rates and poverty rates in developing countries are quite a bit weaker than the linkages between unemployment and poverty found in developed nations. In other words, while economic recessions in the developed world usually see high unemployment rates operating in tandem with high poverty rates, developing nations may have low unemployment rates--usually a sign of economic growth and prosperity--but still have exceedingly high poverty rates despite the good news on the employment front.

Abstract
This essay will argue the reality of exchange rates in the modern world is much more complex than popular wisdom would suggest. Through a discussion of the history of exchange rates in the postwar era - from the fixed rates established at Bretton Woods to the flexible rates of today - it will be seen that exchange rates are one of the most complex features of modern economics. As the Canadian experience demonstrates, control of the exchange rates is beyond the power of governments to significantly influence in the long term. Indeed, given the complexities of the relationship between exchange rates and market forces, exchange rates are a feature of modern economics that defy easy analysis and prediction.

HRM and Unemployment, 2005.

Abstract
The way workplaces are organized in the United States has changed in the last 20 years. Job stability has declined for long-term workers, there has been a large increase in the use of contract workers and there has been widespread adoption of new forms of workplace organization. This paper discusses the recent changes in how firms hire, train, fire, compensate, and manage workers. It uses these components to suggest how the major changes in human resource management (HRM) practices could have led to the drop in the unemployment rate.
From the Paper
"Starting in the 1980s, competition and technical change resulted in greater pressures for customer specialization, cost reductions and quality (7). In response many companies began experimenting with a wide range of practices known as high performance work organization (HPWO). Examples of these practices include: job rotation, pay for knowledge, autonomous teams, and total quality management (TQM). HPWO has made workers become more interchangeable between tasks (otherwise known as job rotation). This saves the company time and money it would take to hire someone new. This increasing ability to move workers within firms between jobs may be part of the explanation for improved labor market efficiency. At the same time, a more flexible production process means that many of skills workers use must be relearned frequently."

Abstract
This paper discusses unemployment and demonstrates the negative impact it has on American society. The paper explains that high unemployment rates frequently result in increased crime, poverty, poor health standards, substance abuse and a lesser quality of life. The paper also relates that there is a proven negative impact of unemployment on an individual's self-esteem and on family and social relationships. The paper stresses that while the U.S. unemployment rate is significantly lower than it has been in previous years, unemployment is still a major social issue and it is for this reason that unemployment is a central issue in economics.
From the Paper
"Unemployment is a major social risk all over the globe: losing a job or not being able to find a job is a frightening and threatening situation and the damage goes far beyond the loss of income (Mather, 1998). Unemployment has a proven negative impact on self-esteem and often negatively impacts family and social relationships. In general, being unemployed reduces a person's standard of living both directly and indirectly. Loss of income reduces ones earnings and impairs his or her ability to fully enjoy life and a sense of well-being. Therefore, even with unemployment assistance, individuals and families suffer from unemployment in many ways."

Unemployment, 2002.
A look at the causes of unemployment and the effects of September 11 2001.

Abstract
This paper discusses how unemployment is a troubling problem that affects every area of the economic sector. It looks at how in times of economic turmoil unemployment rates typically increase for workers from all industries, influenced by a number of economic indicators, including consumer confidence, inflation, government spending, and economic growth. It examines how unemployment results in a number of economic and emotional consequences for those affected. It distinguishes between two types of unemployment and its various causes as well as the influence of the events of September 11 and afterward that have resulted in higher rates of unemployment across the United States.
From the Paper
"After the tragic events of September 11, 2001, the U.S. economy headed into a tailspin from which recovery has not been fully realized. Intense fear and trepidation by most Americans resulted in reduced spending and consumer confidence in U.S. markets. As a result, industries in many sectors felt the wave of uncertainty and began to lose profits. Furthermore, economic growth was halted as the U.S. coped with intense feelings of loss and fear. As government spending in the areas of homeland security and the military increased, capital expansions for education, healthcare, and economic stimulus packages were limited. Many U.S. residents felt the dramatic wave of economic uproar directly in their paychecks. Many residents argue that the Bush administration has not fulfilled their obligations to improve the economic outlook in the United States, and this is further complicated by continuous threats of terrorism and an imminent war with Iraq."
