CLOZE PROCEDURE

Unemployment is the state in which a person is without work, unavailable to work, and is __ 26__
seeking work. The unemployment rate is used in __ 27__ studies and significant indexes such as the
United States’ Conference Board’s Index of Leading Indicators. The rate is determined as the percentage
of those in the labour force without jobs. Basically, there are some of common types of unemployment.
Is It True that Poverty is Caused by Unemployment? Firstly, frictional unemployment occurs when a
worker moves from one job to another job. While he searches for a job he is experiencing frictional
unemployment. This is a productive part of the economy, increasing both the worker’s long term __ 28 __
and economic efficiency. Secondly, classical or real-wage unemployment occurs when real wages for a job
are set above the market-clearing level. This is often __ 29 __ to government intervention, as with the
minimum wage, or labour unions. Thirdly, structural unemployment is caused by a mismatch between
jobs offered by employers and potential workers. This may pertain to geographical location, skills, and
many other factors. If such a mismatch exists, frictional unemployment is likely to be more significant as
well. Fourthly, seasonal unemployment __ 30 __ when an occupation is not in demand at certain seasons.
Lastly, cyclical or Keynesian unemployment, also known as demand deficient unemployment, occurs
when there is not enough aggregate demand for the labour. This is caused by a business cycle recession
and wages not falling to meet the equilibrium rate.
