Question

Suppose a new technology makes it possible to perfectly predict the weather on your computer. As a result, there isn't as much of a need for weathermen to discuss the weather on TV. As a result of the new technology, we would expect the____________ weather forecasters to_________ , causing the salaries of weather forecasters to_____________ .

Answer 1

Answer:

demand of

Fall

decrease

Explanation:

Here are the options to this question:

1.expect the (supply of/ demand of )

2.forecasters to (increase/ decrease)

3. weather forecasters to (decrease/ increase)

The new technology would reduce the need for weather forecasters. So t.v. stations and radios would no longer employ weather forecasters and might even lay off some forecasters. So the demand for forecasters would fall.

Due to the reduced demand for forecasters, there would be a large number of unemployed forecasters with no one willing to employ them. This would lead them to a reduction in their salary. When supply exceeds demand, prices fall.
