文章:

Line Structural unemployment—the unemployment
that remains even at the peak of the economy’s
upswings—is caused by an imbalance between the
types and locations of available employment on the
(5) one hand and the qualifications and locations of
workers on the other hand. When such an imbalance
exists, both labor shortages and unemployment may
occur, despite a balance between supply and demand
for labor in the economy as a whole.
(10) Because technological change is likely to displace
some workers, it is a major factor in producing
structural unemployment. While technological
advance almost invariably results in shifts in
demands for different types of workers, it does not
(15) necessarily result in unemployment. Relatively small
or gradual changes in demand are likely to cause
little unemployment. In the individual firm or even in
the labor market as a whole, normal attrition may
be sufficient to reduce the size of the work force in
(20) the affected occupations. Relatively large or rapid
changes, however, can cause serious problems.
Workers may lose their jobs and find themselves
without the skills necessary to obtain new jobs.
Whether this displacement leads to structural
(25) unemployment depends on the amount of public and
private sector resources devoted to retraining and
placing those workers. Workers can be encouraged
to move where there are jobs, to reeducate or retrain
themselves, or to retire. In addition, other factors
(30) affecting structural unemployment, such as capital
movement, can be controlled.
Increased structural unemployment, should it occur,
makes it difficult for the economy to achieve desired low
rates of unemployment along with low rates of inflation.
(35) If there is a growing pool of workers who lack the
necessary skills for the available jobs, increases in total
labor demand will rapidly generate shortages of qualified
workers. As the wages of those workers are bid up,
labor costs, and thus prices, rise. This phenomenon
(40) may be an important factor in the rising trend, observed
for the past two decades, of unemployment combined
with inflation. Government policy has placed a priority on
reducing inflation, but these efforts have nevertheless
caused unemployment to increase.
