peer agreement (net): +8an increasing unemployment rate Explanation: Hi Adam, The word "positiva" should be taken literary, ie, above 0, we're talking about a mathematical concept. "Pendiente" or "slope" in English is a coined term of speciality used to measure steepness. If the slope is above zero, then it's a rising line, if it's below zero, then it's a falling line. Ergo, we've got a rising line, the rate is going up. HTH, J. http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendiente |
