How many suffer as a result of labor market problems? This is one of the most critical yet contentious social
Marked out of
2.00 policy questions. In many ways, our social statistics exaggerate the degree of hardship. Unemployment does not
have the same dire consequences today as it did in the 1930s when most of the unemployed were primary
breadwinners when income and earnings were usually much closer to the margin of subsistence, and when there
were no countervailing social programs for those failing in the labor market. Increasing affluence, the rise of
families with more than one wage earner, the growing predominance of secondary earners among the
unemployed, and improved social welfare protection have unquestionably mitigated the consequences of
joblessness. Earnings and income data also overstate the dimensions of hardship. Among the millions with hourly
earnings at or below the minimum wage level, the overwhelming majority are from multiple-earner, relatively
affluent families. Most of those counted by the poverty statistics are elderly or handicapped or have family
responsibilities that keep them out of the labor force, so the poverty statistics are by no means an accurate
indicator of labor market pathologies.

Yet there are also many ways our social statistics underestimate the degree of labor-market-related hardship. The
unemployment counts exclude the millions of fully employed workers whose wages are so low that their families
remain in poverty. Low wages and repeated or prolonged unemployment frequently interact to undermine the
capacity for self-support. Since the number experiencing joblessness at some time during the year is several times
the number unemployed in any month, those who suffer as a result of forced idleness can equal or exceed average
annual unemployment, even though only a minority of the jobless in any month suffer. For every person counted
in the monthly unemployment tallies, there is another working part-time because of the inability to find full-time
work, or else outside the labor force but wanting a job. Finally, income transfers in our country have always
focused on the elderly, disabled, and dependent, neglecting the needs of the working poor, so the dramatic
expansion of cash and in-kind transfers does not necessarily mean that those failing in the labor market are
adequately protected. As a result of such contradictory evidence, it is uncertain whether those suffering seriously
as a result of labor market problems number in the hundreds of thousands or the tens of millions, and, hence,
whether high levels of joblessness can be tolerated or must be countered by job creation and economic stimulus.
There is only one area of agreement in this debate—that the existing poverty, employment, and earnings statistics
are inadequate for one of their primary applications, measuring the consequences of labor market problems.

3. The author contrasts the 1930’s with the present in order to show

a. social programs are more needed now

b. poverty has increased since the 1930’s

c. there now is a greater proportion of elderly and handicapped people among those in poverty

d. more people were unemployed in the 1930’s

e. unemployment now has less severe effects

9. Which of the following, if true, is the best criticism of the author’s argument concerning why poverty statistics
cannot properly be used to show the effects of problems in the labor market?

a. Poverty statistics do not consistently agree with earnings statistics, when each is taken as a measure of
hardship resulting from unemployment.

b. A short-term increase in the number of those in poverty can indicate a shortage of jobs because the
basic number of those unable to accept employment remains approximately constant.
c. For those who are in poverty as a result of joblessness, there are social programs available that provide
a minimum standard of living.
d. The elderly and handicapped categories include many who previously were employed in the labor
market.

e. Since the labor market is global in nature, poor workers in one country are competing with poor
workers in another with respect to the level of wages and the existence of jobs.

7. According to the passage, one factor that causes unemployment and earnings figures to overpredict the amount
of economic hardship is the

b. prevalence, among low-wage workers and the unemployed, of members of families in which others are
employed
c. fact that unemployment counts do not include those who work for low wages and remain poor

d. possibility that earnings may be received from more than one job per worker

How many suffer as a result of labor market problems? This is one of the most critical yet contentious social
Marked out of
2.00 policy questions. In many ways, our social statistics exaggerate the degree of hardship. Unemployment does not
have the same dire consequences today as it did in the 1930s when most of the unemployed were primary
breadwinners when income and earnings were usually much closer to the margin of subsistence, and when there
were no countervailing social programs for those failing in the labor market. Increasing affluence, the rise of
families with more than one wage earner, the growing predominance of secondary earners among the
unemployed, and improved social welfare protection have unquestionably mitigated the consequences of
joblessness. Earnings and income data also overstate the dimensions of hardship. Among the millions with hourly
earnings at or below the minimum wage level, the overwhelming majority are from multiple-earner, relatively
affluent families. Most of those counted by the poverty statistics are elderly or handicapped or have family
responsibilities that keep them out of the labor force, so the poverty statistics are by no means an accurate
indicator of labor market pathologies.

Yet there are also many ways our social statistics underestimate the degree of labor-market-related hardship. The
unemployment counts exclude the millions of fully employed workers whose wages are so low that their families
remain in poverty. Low wages and repeated or prolonged unemployment frequently interact to undermine the
capacity for self-support. Since the number experiencing joblessness at some time during the year is several times
the number unemployed in any month, those who suffer as a result of forced idleness can equal or exceed average
annual unemployment, even though only a minority of the jobless in any month suffer. For every person counted
in the monthly unemployment tallies, there is another working part-time because of the inability to find full-time
work, or else outside the labor force but wanting a job. Finally, income transfers in our country have always
focused on the elderly, disabled, and dependent, neglecting the needs of the working poor, so the dramatic
expansion of cash and in-kind transfers does not necessarily mean that those failing in the labor market are
adequately protected. As a result of such contradictory evidence, it is uncertain whether those suffering seriously
as a result of labor market problems number in the hundreds of thousands or the tens of millions, and, hence,
whether high levels of joblessness can be tolerated or must be countered by job creation and economic stimulus.
There is only one area of agreement in this debate—that the existing poverty, employment, and earnings statistics
are inadequate for one of their primary applications, measuring the consequences of labor market problems.

2. The author uses “labor market problems” in lines 1 refers to which of the following?
