Help me study for my Business class. I’m stuck and don’t understand.

For this discussion, address the following questions:

• How is unemployment calculated, and what is and is not included?
• What were the unemployment numbers for the latest three quarters?
• Why is unemployment mentioned in business news so often and used as an important metric for our economy?
• What might cause the unemployment numbers to be questioned from an accuracy standpoint and a relevancy perspective?
• How is unemployment impacted by the phases of the business cycle?

The case of hypnosis research is a good example of how psychological theories can produce competing claims and lead to confusion about phenomena. How might understanding the epistemological commitments in a psychological theory be helpful in clarifying agreements or disagreements between competing theories?
