Answer: The answer is B, a job shortage occurs when there is a higher demand for jobs than there is for labor.

Explanation:

During this type of shortage, the types of jobs being offered do not have the workers that are qualified. Skilled workers are needed for various jobs but they are hard to fill since students are going into high powered fields. Some of the industries that need workers are healthcare, hotels, and construction.
