U.S. Unemployment Rate (%)

Since August 2011 I’m updating U.S. Unemployment Rate with the above template. I looked at the % change on the unemployment rate from a different perspective and applied 1 & 2 year moving averages to see crossover signals and the length of trends after major crossover signals.

In this analysis I concluded that in the worst case  unemployment rate can continue lower for another year until 2012. Because in the past the shortest trend last for a year after a moving average crossover signal. Unemployment rate continues to move lower in United States with 8.3% by the end of January. We can expect better figures in the first half of 2012.
