Answer:
d. both of them could be telling the truth if the labor force grew faster than employment
Explanation:
The president claims that more people are working, this is a nominal approach, if 5000 people were working at the beginning of his term and now, which is ending it has 5001 people working his statement will be true.
The senator makes a more economic approach, while there are more people employement, we must remember than the labor force grows each day, as more kids finish their studies and jump right into the search of jobs.
So, both statement can be true, example
at beginning
600/6,000 = 10& unemployement
6,000 labor force - 600 unemployee = 5,400 working
leaving the office:
1,100/10,000 = 11% unemployement
10,000 labor force - 1,100 unemployee = 8,900 working
UNder this scenario, both are true.
