Try again! A person who is without a job but available to work and has actively looked for employment in the past four weeks is counted as unemployed. Back
Question 5 • The labor force participation rate identifies: A • The number of unemployed B • The number of employed C • The percentage of the adult population in the labor force
Try again! The unemployment rate is a measure of the unemployed and is calculated as a percentage by dividing the number of unemployed individuals by all individuals currently in the labor force. Back
Try again! The employment rate is a statistical ratio that measures the proportion of the country’s working age population that is employed. Back
Correct! The labor force participation rate identifies what percentage of the adult population is in the labor force. It is calculated by dividing the labor force by the adult population, and then multiplying by 100. Next
Question 6 • When workers lack the skills necessary to get a job, they are ________ unemployed. A • Structurally B • Frictionally C • Cyclically
Correct! • Structural unemployment occurs when workers have skills that are obsolete or no longer demanded by employers, when they lack the skills necessary to get a job, or when they cannot move to a new location to find work. Efficiency wages, a binding minimum wage, labor unions and unemployment insurance may also contribute to structural unemployment. Next
Try again! Frictional unemployment is the result of workers searching for jobs, or waiting for new jobs to begin. Frictional unemployment is often called job search unemployment. Back
Try again! Cyclical unemployment occurs when workers are unemployed as a result of economic changes associated with the business cycle. At times, economic conditions can cause the aggregate demand for goods and services to decline, therefore lowering the demand for labor needed to produce these goods and services. Back
Question 7 • New and recent entrants into the labor force are ________ unemployed. A • Structurally B • Frictionally C • Cyclically
Try again! • Structural unemployment occurs when workers have skills that are obsolete or no longer demanded by employers, when they lack the skills necessary to get a job, or when they cannot move to a new location to find work. Efficiency wages, a binding minimum wage, labor unions and unemployment insurance may also contribute to structural unemployment. Back
Correct! Frictional unemployment is the result of workers searching for jobs, or waiting for new jobs to begin. Frictional unemployment is often called job search unemployment. Next
Try again! Cyclical unemployment occurs when workers are unemployed as a result of economic changes associated with the business cycle. At times, economic conditions can cause the aggregate demand for goods and services to decline, therefore lowering the demand for labor needed to produce these goods and services. Back
Question 8 ____ unemployment occurs when workers are displaced as a result of economic changes associated with the business cycle. A • Structural B • Frictional C • Cyclical
Try again! Structural unemployment occurs when workers have skills that are obsolete or no longer demanded by employers, when they lack the skills necessary to get a job, or when they cannot move to a new location to find work. Efficiency wages, a binding minimum wage, labor unions and unemployment insurance may also contribute to structural unemployment. Back
Try again! Frictional unemployment is the result of workers searching for jobs, or waiting for new jobs to begin. Frictional unemployment is often called job search unemployment. Back
Correct! Cyclical unemployment occurs when workers are unemployed as a result of economic changes associated with the business cycle. At times, economic conditions can cause the aggregate demand for goods and services to decline, therefore lowering the demand for labor needed to produce these goods and services. Next
Question 9 Any deviation from the natural rate of unemployment is ______ unemployment. A • Structural B • Frictional C • Cyclical
Try again! This type of unemployment is caused by structural factors in the economy such as worker skills mismatch, efficiency wages, a binding minimum wage, labor unions, and unemployment insurance. Back
Try again! Frictional unemployment results when workers are searching for a job, or waiting for a job to begin. Back
Correct! The natural rate of unemployment is the lowest rate of unemployment over the long run, often thought of as the rate of unemployment that usually occurs in the economy. Deviations from this rate are cyclical unemployment. Next
Question 10 The unemployment rate is closely tied to Real GDP. If Real GDP falls: A • Aggregate demand has risen B • Unemployment rises C • Unemployment falls
Try again! • A decrease in Aggregate Demand is associated with falling Real GDP. Back
Correct! • When Real GDP falls, output declines. This means that fewer workers will be needed to produce goods and services and unemployment should rise. Next
Try again! When Real GDP rises, this indicates an increase in Aggregate Demand greater output in the economy. This should lead to a decrease in unemployment as more workers are hired to meet the increased demand for goods and services. Back
