View answer resolution

【Answer to question 1】C

【analysis】

C is correct. For a given working-age population, a decline in the labor force participation rate (often caused by an increase in discouraged workers) reduces the labor force. If the number of people employed remains the same while the labor force becomes smaller, the number of workers defined to be unemployed must be smaller and thus the unemployment rate lower. The following example illustrates the direction of change:

A is incorrect, as per table above.

B is incorrect, as per table above.

【Answer to question 2】A

【analysis】

A is correct. The unemployment rate is the ratio of unemployed to labor force.

B is incorrect because unemployment rate includes all the labor force.

C is incorrect because unemployment rate is based on the labor force and the working age. The labor force is defined as the number of people who either have a job or are actively looking for a job.
