High unemployment, bad! Low unemployment, also bad!

[BlueCheeseAgain]

9. I think the majority belief among economists is that the ideal situation...

... is a stable, growing economy with around 2% inflation and 5% unemployment.

High unemployment is obviously bad, because people are out of work. Very low unemployment is bad, because high wages cause inflation. (When I took economics, economists believed that too-low unemployment caused inflation to accelerate, in that it would cause inflation to keep rising indefinitely, not just settle in at a higher level. Not sure if that's still the prevailing belief.)
