'Unemployment
rate: Number of unemployed persons expressed as a percentage ofthe
labour force. The concepts and definitions of employment and
unemploymentadopted by the survey are based on those endorsed by the
International LabourOrganisation (ILO). UNEMPLOYMENT: Given the concept
of unemployment as theunutilized supply of labour, the operational
definition of unemployment is basedprimarily on the activity of job
search and the availability to take a job. Inaddition to being
conceptually appropriate, job search activities can, in ahousehold
survey, be objectively and consistently measured over time.
Thedefinition of unemployment is therefore the following: Unemployed
persons arethose who, during reference week: a) were on temporary layoff
during referenceweek with an expectation of recall and were available
for work, or b) werewithout work, had actively looked for work in the
past four weeks, and wereavailable for work, or c) had a new job to
start within four weeks fromreference week, and were available for work.

The
consumer price index (CPI) is a measure of change in the general level
ofprices of goods and services bought by households over a specified
period oftime. It compares a household's cost for a specific basket of
finished goods andservices with the cost of the same basket during an
earlier benchmark period.The consumer price index is used as a
measurement of inflation and is a keyeconomic figure. Likely impact:1)
Interest Rates: Larger-than-expected quarterly increase in price
inflation orincreasing trend is considered inflationary; this will cause
bond prices to dropand yields and interest rates to rise.2) Stock
Prices: Higher than expected price inflation is bearish on the
stockmarket as higher inflation will lead to higher interest rates.3)
Exchange Rates: High inflation has an uncertain effect. It would lead
todepreciation as higher prices mean lower competitiveness. Conversely,
higherinflation causes higher interest rates and a tighter monetary
policy that leadsto an appreciation.

The
consumer prices index (CPI) is the main United Kingdom domestic measure
ofinflation for macroeconomic purposes. The uses of the retail prices
index (RPI)include indexation of pensions, state benefits and
index-linked gilts. Bothmeasure the average change from month to month
in the prices of consumer goodsand services purchased in the UK,
although there are differences in coverage andmethodology.Both the CPI
and the RPI are compiled each month using the same underlying pricedata,
based on a large and representative selection of around 650
individualgoods and services for which price movements are measured in
around 150 areasthroughout the UK. Around 120,000 separate price
quotations are used every monthto compile the indices.The CPI and RPI
can be thought of as measuring the monthly cost of a very largeshopping
basket comprising all the different kinds of goods and services boughtby
consumers in the UK. As the prices of individual items in the basket
varyover time, the total cost of the basket will change. The spending
patterns onwhich the CPI and RPI are based are reviewed annually.

The
consumer price index (CPI) is a measure of the average change in the
pricespaid by urban consumers for a fixed market basket of goods and
services. The CPIis based on prices of food, clothing, shelter, fuel,
drugs, transportationfares, doctors and dentists fees, and other goods
and services that people buyfor day-to-day living. The quantity and
quality of these items are keptessentially unchanged between major
revisions so that only price changes will bemeasured. All taxes directly
associated with the purchase and use of items areincluded in the index.
