Answer: 30.1%

Explanation:

The unemployment rate includes those who do not have employment but are actively looking for employment not those who do not have a job and are not looking.

The rate is also based on the Labor force which is the portion of the population that is <u>able</u> and <u>willing</u> to work. Retirees are not included in this measure. Those who are not looking are not willing.

Labor Force = 50 full-time + 15 part-time + 28 unemployed

= 93 people

Unemployment rate:

= 28 / 93 * 100

= 30.1%

Which of the following scenarios could lower a firm’s demand for labor? Correct Answer(s) James operates a restaurant in a seasi
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

James operates a restaurant in a seaside tourist town. It is winter and all the tourists have left

Rex invests in new computer software that will automate his bookkeeping.

Explanation:

In winter, the patronage at James' resturant would drop because tourists would have left. Because demand at the resturant has dropped, James would reduce his demand for Labour which are his staffs. He would let some staffs go temporarily to reduce costs .

If Rex invests in a software that automates his book keeping, he wouldn't need an accountant to help with his book keeping, so demand for labour would fall.

After Katie's competition closes down, more people would patronise Katie. Katie's demand for Labour would increase because of the influx of customers.

Amy would need labour to obtain wood; her demand for Labour would increase.

If school is just resuming, there would be a high influx of people into the bookstore, the bookstore would increase its demand for Labour because of the high influx of customers .

I hope my answer helps you.
