content area Part 1 The chapter notes that between 1990 and 2019, the number of people employed at newspapers declined from 450,000 to fewer than 140,000. Some of this decline was the result of newspapers in small towns closing and laying off all of their workers, and some of this decline resulted from newspapers in large cities continuing to operate but with a smaller number of employees. a. Were the newspaper employees laid off in the small towns more or less likely to end up structurally unemployed than the newspaper employees who were laid off in big cities? Briefly explain. A. Less likely, because the layoffs in the small towns were more likely to be temporary than the layoffs in the large cities. B. Less likely, since some of the big city newspapers continued to operate, the small town will be able to create new newspaper jobs faster than the big city. C. More likely, because small towns may have no other newspapers or few other firms that would be likely to hire a newspaper employee. D. Neither group is likely to end up structurally unemployed since this would be classified as cyclical unemployment
