Chapter 22 Discussion
A good way to introduce the idea that unemployment brings benefits is to think about the unemployment of things rather than people. Look around and notice all the unemployed automobiles in the parking lots/stations. Notice the unemployed class rooms early in the morning and late at night. Notice the unemployed seats in Starbucks at peak lecture times. Look around the city and notice all the unemployed automobiles in the car sales lots. Try to make a reservation at any of the hotels in the city and notice that you can almost always get a roomhence, lots of unemployed hotel rooms.
Does all of this unemployment bring benefits? Do the same ideas apply to unemployed people?
