No better symbol exists of how man has altered the river, in ways both bad and good, than Grand Coulee Dam. Built during the Dep

ression, the dam's benefits were manifold. It put 7,000 people to work, created a reservoir for the biggest irrigation project the country had ever seen, provided flood control, and produced electricity that would power America's war effort. At the time, it was the largest concrete structure ever built. Today Grand Coulee generates more electricity than any other dam in the U.S., enough for a million households a year. . . .
The dams have wreaked havoc on salmon, the creature that symbolizes the Northwest, whose epic migration from streams to ocean and back again to natal streams is one of the wonders of the natural world. Today perhaps 200,000 to 300,000 wild salmon remain on the Columbia, less than 3 percent.


–Fen Montaigne, "A River Dammed," 2001

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Both are true statements

Explanation:

1st Statement: Changes in the age composition of the labor force will affect the natural rate of unemployment, Yes i agree with this and the example given is a typical scenario for this, Most employers always have age limit or set age barrier when recruiting e.g The clause of must not be more than 26yrs of age, what if the number of youthful workers which applies for these kind of jobs are more than 26 years, it just automatically increases the rate of unemployment, most companies dont want to employ 30+ years of age, such age requirement are always rear and it will be tied to an experience that is needed. so the above statement is true.

2nd statement: An increase in minimum wage can also affect cyclical unemployment, As most companies might not be able afford to make such increase which will can definitely increase cyclical unemployment. So this is tied to the income and affordability of some organizations, so organizations might even sack some to afford the increase in minimum wage , with this, the rate of unemployment has increased, So yes i agree that this statement is true.
