One important item to note is that trying to achieve an unemployment rate of 0% is not possible. Some individuals claim the government prohibits a zero percent unemployment rate in order to keep wages low. In reality, there will always be some voluntary unemployment, although there is some truth to the belief that government policy makers often worry when low unemployment rates are accompanied by rising inflation rates. In these circumstances, they may put the economic brakes on and allow the unemployment rate to creep upwards.
