> If the unemployment rate is zero, that also means that there are jobs that literally cannot be filled and are not being done. That's bad too.

Well... I'd argue that depends on which jobs it is that goes unfilled. I'm sure many people here have worked jobs that would be better off not done.

If there are too many jobs that need doing, do you think the undone jobs are janitorial at minimum wage or shuffling papers in an office for substantially more?
