If a school needs to hire 2 new teachers but there are 20 recent college graduates hoping to get a teaching job at that school. This is an example of <em>job surplus, (option A)</em> meaning there are <em>more employees than employment offers</em>. When there is a<em> job surplus</em> in the company, normally this company, in this case, the school, would try to find other positions for the remaining candidates in another deppartments.
A job shortage is when there are not enough candidates as the market or the company needs. Therefore the example above is NOT a job shortage example.
For the second example, Ed has chosen a career as a lawer based in his desire to utilize his passion for history, presentation skills and ability to work well with others. All of this are parts of his <em>career expectations (option A).</em>
If we were talking about the subjects that were easier for him at school, we would be talking about <em>High school academics (b)</em>. Or if his father was a lawyer, we would be talking about<em> Family history (c). Job outlook (c) </em>is when the person makes a research about the job possition to find the possibilities of getting a job, or the percentage of people that gets a job, how much do they earn, etc.
As in this example, we are talking only about his personal expectations, the correct answer is letter <em>A. career expectations.</em>
