Paper Summary

Taxes on labor can affect unemployment levels. Employment taxes (based on number of employees) lead to more jobs and less unemployment than payroll taxes (based on labor costs). Switching to more employment taxes instead of payroll taxes can increase employment and decrease unemployment in the long run.
