[{"role": "system", "content": "The unemployment rate is a measure of the prevalence of unemployment and it is calculated as a percentage by dividing the number of unemployed individuals by all individuals currently in the labor force. During periods of recession, an economy usually experiences a relatively high unemployment rate. According to International Labour Organization report, more than 200 million people globally or 6% of the world's workforce were without a job in 2012. The causes of unemployment are heavily debated. Classical economics, new classical economics, and the Austrian School of economics argued that market mechanisms are reliable means of resolving unemployment. These theories argue against interventions imposed on the labor market from the outside, such as unionization, bureaucratic work rules, minimum wage laws, taxes, and other regulations that they claim discourage the hiring of workers. Keynesian economics emphasizes the cyclical nature of unemployment and recommends government interventions in the economy that it claims will reduce unemployment during recessions. This theory focuses on recurrent shocks that suddenly reduce aggregate demand for goods and services and thus reduce demand for workers.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Have you ever been unemployed, or do you know anything about it?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Luckily I have not, it looks like the causes for it are very much debated."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I was for a period of 8 months after a job I worked for for 3 years cut my hours out of nowhere."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "That is horrible, was it during the recession?
