Question

Which cause of poverty would explain why low-skilled workers are hired when the economy is expanding but are the first to be laid off when there is an economic downturn?

Lack of education and degree among these individuals.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is "economic shifts".

Explanation:

The economic changes explain why low-skilled workers are hired when the economy is in the expansion phase but are also the first to be laid off when there is an economic downturn. Short-term economic changes can be handled this way. It is expected that the fluctuations will stabilize in a few years and then the economy will stabilize again.

Have a nice day!
