I did not mean to say that unemployment is a solution. Just to clarify, what I meant is that it's often difficult to track why unemployment is occurring. You might see a spike in unemployment in a certain province in Canada and want to understand why that's occurring, and it's not always so easy. You have to dig into other data sources to better understand exactly which industries or which workers in particular are experiencing unemployment.
Having unemployment data that actually gives you insight into who's experiencing that level of disruption will be very helpful in forming a response that is proactive. The way I actually see this playing out is through better understanding estimates for the probability that workers will receive unemployment, given the labour market they are in, their job title.... I can imagine other factors playing a role as well. For example, their level of education and maybe their ethnicity and gender would be interesting additional variables to haveābut by thinking about these as unemployment risks, based on where workers are in the economy.
