Answer to Question 1

T

Answer to Question 2

The dual labor market recognizes that not all jobs are equally attractive to workers. Jobs in the core tier are typically with large firms, provide longer-term employment, pay well, and offer good fringe benefits. Jobs in the peripheral tier are characterized by low pay, few or no benefits, and short-term employment. As firms in highly industrialized economies (like the United States) move jobs overseas to gain lower wages, American workers are increasingly finding themselves in the peripheral tier instead of the core tier.
