Long-term real wages are determined by productivity, while short-term deviations depend on labor demand. The interpretation of the decomposition of employment and unemployment is more involved. Long-term employment is determined exogenously by the growth of the economically active population. This may differ from population growth because of differing age distribution parameters. Cyclical employment varies due to the changing participation rate. Traditionally, unemployment was thought of as a stationary variable that returned to its long-term value, the nonacceleration inflationary rate of unemployment (NAIRU).

Output shocks have caused large swings in unemployment, which hovered at around 6 percent throughout the 1960s, and rose to 22 percent in 1982 before falling to 6 percent in 1992. Real wages in the industrial sector started to increase in 1976 while unemployment was still rising, indicating large productivity increases.
