that it is necessary to have involuntary unemployment

what do they use to buttress such a counter-intuitive case?

The theory that too low unemployment creates intolerable inflation through the wage-push mechanism and that this in the long run makes it worse then having some unemployment.

melo:

and is the accent on 'involuntary'? who but the wealthy volunteers their employment away?

In a population there are kids, students, retirees, those too sick to work, those to disabled to work, stay-at-home-parents and so on that are not seeking employment right now.
