An economic analysis of a developed country over a 25-year period reveals two key trends: 1) The annual increase in the general price level has consistently remained between 1.8% and 2.2%. 2) The actual measured unemployment rate has rarely deviated from the economy's estimated 'natural' or 'structural' rate of unemployment.
