During a recession, job stayers do better than job switchers because a.labor demand increases and job switchers can find jobs with higher wages. b.labor supply decreases and job switchers can find jobs with higher wages. c.labor demand decreases and job switchers cannot find jobs with higher wages. b. When the labor market is strong, job switchers experience higher wages than job stayers because a.labor demand decreases and job switchers cannot find jobs with higher wages. b.labor supply…
