Cherish Robertson · Answer 1

Letter b is correct. Seasonal.

Explanation:

Seasonal unemployment occurs when there are unemployed people at certain times of the year when the demand for a good or service is less than at other times.

This is a situation that occurs more frequently in tourist areas, such as the one mentioned in the question above, due to the fact that there is a greater demand for work in the high tourist season months.

The ideal is for workers who suffer from seasonal unemployment to seek economic adjustment in the low season months and diversify their activities during this period, to find other activities that guarantee the maintenance of income. It is also important for the government to create public employment policies so that this problem does not happen.
