Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

George's job loss was due to a weakening of the economy, which is a characteristic of cyclical unemployment. Mollie is currently searching for work, but her job loss was not due to economic conditions. Jeanette's job loss was due to a specific government decision and not necessarily indicative of broader economic trends. Ryan's job loss was due to company downsizing, which can be a result of various factors and not necessarily cyclical unemployment.
