Statistics In our discussion of the collection of macroeconomic statistics, we focused on the way in which the overall price level in the economy is measured, the way in which the unemployment of the population is measured, and the way in which the production of the economy is measured. We had also mentioned that these statistics had flaws and either overestimated or underestimated the reality of the situation. Briefly discuss the ways in which the measurement of the price level with the CPI, the unemployment rate, and the GDP are inaccurate.
