based on this graph, what can be concluded about the economy between 1991 and 2008?
a) the economy was getting stronger because employment was high.
b) the economy was getting stronger because too many manufacturing jobs were available.
c) the economy was getting weaker because employment was low.
d) the economy was getting weaker because stagflation was occuring.

ANSWER: C) The economy was getting weaker because employment was low.

EXPLANATION: The economy gets weaker as the employment graph goes down. Unemployment has a ripple effect in the society as well as on the economy of the country. For example, if one person becomes unemployed because of any reason and there is no one to fill the gap, then the state is losing a person's taxes and subsequent revenues. Also, we can assume that there will be less productivity because of his absence. So, when many people goes unemployed, the country loses a significant portion of taxes of those residents. This causes a downfall in the GDP of the country.

"later i had a child born out of wedlock; i became pregnant when i was 16," colvin says. "and i didn't fit the image either, of, you know, someone they would want to show off.
