Structural unemployment is sometimes said to result from a mismatch between the job skills that employers want and the job skills that workers have. To explore this idea, consider an economy with two industries: auto manufacturing and aircraft manufacturing.

Assume that workers in these two industries require similar amounts of training, and they can choose which industry to train for at the beginning of their careers.

True or False: Wages in the auto manufacturing industry would be greater than those in the aircraft manufacturing industry.

True

False

Suppose that one day the economy opens itself to international trade and, as a result, starts importing autos and exporting aircraft.

This would cause the demand for labor in the auto manufacturing industry tofall   and the demand for labor in the aircraft manufacturing industry torise   .

Suppose that workers in one industry cannot be quickly retrained for the other.

Which of the following accurately describes the effects of the shifts in demand on the equilibrium wages in the two industries? Check all that apply.

Wages in the auto industry would fall in the short run.

Wages in the aircraft industry would fall in the short run.

Wages in the auto manufacturing industry would be less than those in the aircraft manufacturing industry.

If for some reason wages fail to adjust to the new equilibrium levels as a result of opening up to international trade, there will be   of workers in the aircraft industry and   of workers in the auto industry.
