Who of the following would be included in the Bureau of Labor Statistics monthly count of the "unemployed" (a) Miguel, who is on temporary layoff (b) Marisa, who neither has a job nor is looking for one (c) Many, who worked only 15 hours in each of the last four weeks (d) none of the above Sam works part-time at Best Buy, but really wants a full-time job at the store. The Bureau of Labor Statistics counts Sam as (a) a discouraged worker (b) as part-time structurally unemployed (c) as employed and in the labor force (d) all of the above Suppose that the adult population in the country of Atlantis is 115 million. If 80 million people are employed and 5 million are unemployed, then (a) 35 million are not in the labor force (b) 75 million are in the labor force (c) 35 million are in the labor force (d) 30 million are not in the labor force Which of the following is not an explanation for the existence of structural unemployment in the US?

According to Phillips curve analysis this was due to (a) unanticipated "shock" inflation (b) a mis-reading of the data; the curve shifted to the right in the 1970s (c) a fundamental shift in the elasticity (i.e.. degree of responsiveness) of the Phillips curve (d) the effects of the wage-price spiral According to Phillips curve analysis, if unemployment is at its "natural rate, " a stimulative monetary and fiscal policy will not cause inflation. Wage-price controls are seen by advocates as a way for government to (a) eliminate cost push pressure in the economy (b) prevent inflationary expectations from developing in the economy (c) bring to the market fairer prices for consumers and fairer wages for workers of the above
