The headline of the article makes what I assume to be a deliberate error as they claim that the CEO said unemployment needs to rise to 50%, where as he said by 50%. The article headline as written is stating that the CEO wants unemployment to increase to 50% where as the actual statement says it should go from the existing 3.6% to 5.4%. Not that I agree with him though, but I just think the article is being ridiculous. But yes in general low unemployment favours the workers while high unemployment favours the employers.
