问题如下:
During an economic recovery, a lagging unemployment rate is most likely attributable to:
选项:
A.businesses quickly rehiring workers.
B.new job seekers entering the labor force.
C.underemployed workers transitioning to higher-paying jobs.
解释:
B is correct.
In an economic recovery, new job seekers return to the labor force, and because they seldom find work immediately, their return may initially raise the unemployment rate.
考点:Unemployment
解析:因为在经济刚开始不景气的时候,企业主会通过减少工人工作小时数的方法调节生产,只有当经济进一步衰退时才会考虑裁员,所以B选项说法正确。
经济不景气的时候企业主无意培训新员工,工人也很难找到培训再就业的机会,所以A,C选项都错误。
new job seeker的进入会使得unemployment rate 的分母增加,但为啥会导致滞后指标呢?不是很理解,希望能解释一下,谢谢
