... while the average level of formal education and job expectations of these new entrants to the labour force is very high. But the most important effect of all is the reduction in the rate of growth of new job opportunities. Frictional can only be reduced by better career counseling, guiding school leavers into areas which have great number of jobs, by offering subsidies to employers, and by breaking down artificial barriers to certain trades and professions. The second cause of why there is is due to variations in climate. This type of is called season . Industries like farming, lumbering, fishing construction, and port operations are examples of the vic ...
... mean anything to a person if he or she did not work for it. For example, why do people feel relieved right after a final exam is taken? It is not only because the semester is over and that the class will never have to be taken again, but people feel relieved because each person knows that he or she worked hard throughout the semester: staying up late, completing assignments, and studying for tests in order to receive a good grade in the class. On the other hand, sometimes people may “cheat” in a way to receive good grades. For instance, someone might ask a friend to do an assignment for her because her friend had taken the same class during the previous seme ...
... trades and opened up investment opportunities for many that would not have previously considered purchasing securities.

... begin to fall. Because of the surplus of goods and falling prices consumption becomes more desirable to consumers and the level of consumer spending rises. The fall in prices causes business to become less profitable and producers decrease the level of production. This results in the decrease of the aggregate quantity supplied to decrease. This continues until aggregate quantity demanded equal the aggregate quantity supplied and a period of short- run equilibrium is established. The real GDP and the price level have both decreased from the original long-run equilibrium level and the economy is operating under the full employment level. At this point the U.S. e ...
... stock market is in what is commonly referred to as the longest bull market in history. And with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), the Standard and Poor's 500, and Nasdaq Composite continuing to break new records, many in the financial world are worrying about what is in store for the market this year. Specifically, they are concerned whether or not the stock market will correct (or worse, crash) in 1997. In focusing on the possibility of a market correction or crash this year, some arguments for and against will be examined. Currently, many people, including financial analysts, money managers and individual investors, believe the stock market is due for a ...
... in a suit had a 77% percent chance of getting money returned to them, while those dressed casually or in working outfits had a 38% chance (Bickman, 1971). This study suggests that a person's status affects how well they are received by the person they are trying to influence, and thus their likelihood of being able to influence them into buying an idea or product. Seating arrangements can affect ones ability to influence others. Seating arrangements that are closer to one another have a greater effect and lead to a less hostile environment than when people are seated opposite of one another (Sommer, 1967). Sommer found that when a relationship is of a compe ...
... America and Russia must not think of each other as natural enemies, but must work together to make more peaceful world, even if they were ready to destroy each other not that long ago. United States needed Russia as a strong partner in the twenty first century. Russia went through many changes in its economy since the Russian Federation took over the Soviet Union. "An economy devoted almost entirely to the production of military goods was forced to begin to provide what its citizens demanded, not what its rulers ordered" (Pickering 100). But it wasn't that easy. Russian government appeared to be unexperienced in modernizing the economy. Most of the people in ...
... are paying well, proving that highly skilled labor is what employers want! "There is clear evidence that the supply of workers in the [unskilled labor] categories already exceeds the demand for their services," says L. Mishel, Research Director of Welfare Reform Network. In view of these facts, I wonder if these trends are good or bad for society. "The danger of the information age is that while in the short run it may be cheaper to replace workers with technology, in the long run it is potentially self-destructive because there will not be enough purchasing power to grow the economy," M. B. Zuckerman. My feeling is that the trend from unskilled labor to highly tec ...
... car as the Dodge Stealth, only the Mitsubishi is made in Japan at the original factory and the Stealth is made in the US at the Dodge factory. Apart from the two emblems respectively, very few details differ the two cars. Honda who have been in need of a sport utility vehicle in order to grab their share of that part of the market, which has grown considerably the last decade have taken almost desperate measures. They have simply bought the rights to re-badge the Isuzu Rodeo as the Honda Passport and marketed it as an all new model. The last and maybe the most logical reason is that all manufacturers are striving towards 'the perfect car'. All cars are supposed t ...
... practice of selling items at a price less than what it costs to make them is called dumping. Foreign governments subsidize the manufacturing processes of certain industries so their companies can displace the competition's industry. The television industry is a perfect example of subsidized dumping. The post World War II infusion of subsidized Japanese-made televisions, terminated the United States(U.S.) television manufacturing industry. In the late 1950's, half a million units crossed our borders, tax and tariff free. These television sets were made using cheaper components and cheaper labor. However, the cost of transportation, which would normally e ...
