Why might the official measure of civilian unemployment in the U.S. be an understatement of actual unemployment?
 a. Because some workers become discouraged and no longer are actively seeking work. Thus they are not officially counted in the labor force, and consequently are not officially unemployed.
  b. Because the official measure of civilian unemployment fails to account for very high levels of unemployment among active-duty military personnel.
  c. Because the statistics count part-time employment as being no different from full-time employment, even though many part-time workers would prefer to be fully employed.
  d. Both a. and c. above are correct.

Question 2

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
