seasonal unemployment

decreasing/decreasing

Seasonal unemployment is the result of varying the pace of a particular sector of the economy over time. For example, the case of Mike, who was hired to work in a store at the end of the year, when consumers buy a lot. After Christmas sales decline and unemployment occurs.

If the economy is decreasing, total output decreases and consequently total corporate revenue also declines. This is a sign of stagnation or crisis.
