Unemployement

 Here are four individuals telling you their stories of how they became  unemployed.  In a multi-paragraph essay, apply the theories of  unemployment to explain the type of unemployment that each of these  individuals is facing and explain which of these individuals qualifies  for unemployment benefits:

Two months ago, Marcelle used to work  full time in an automobile manufacturing firm.  “The factory where I  used to work has closed because our market contracted so much, and so I  was laid off.  This is happening to people all over the country-all you  see in the papers is that economic growth has fallen and incomes across  the country have fallen.  I have been looking very hard for a new job,  but have had no luck yet.”

Until last week, Dominic used to work  full time as a hair-dresser in downtown Cincinnati.  “I decided to quit  my job, because I want to move to New York City.”

Until last  month, Francine worked part time at a ski resort.  “Well, it is summer  now, and so the resort is closed.  I will apply again in the winter when  the snow is back.  I am not interested in working until then.”

Two  months ago, Beauvoir had been working full time as a secretary.  “I was  a good typist, but I don’t know how to use a computer.  My boss wanted  to upgrade the office to computers, and so I was replaced by someone who  is computer-savvy.  I have been looking for another job, but it appears  that I need to learn some computer skills.”

Develop a response  that includes examples and evidence to support your ideas, and which  clearly communicates the required message to your audience.  Organize  your response in a clear and logical manner as appropriate for the genre  of writing.  Use well-structured sentences, audience-appropriate  language, and correct conventions of standard American English.
