Suppose many college faculty members lose their jobs because universities begin to rely more heavily on computerized instruction.The dismissed teachers are appropriately called

A) fully employed.
B) discouraged workers.
C) structurally unemployed.
D) cyclically unemployeD.

The dismissed teachers are experiencing structural unemployment, which occurs when the demand for certain types of jobs decreases due to technological advancements or changes in the economy. In this case, the use of computerized instruction is reducing the need for traditional classroom instructors, resulting in structural unemployment for college faculty members. Choice A (fully employed) and choice B (discouraged workers) do not accurately describe their situation, and choice D (cyclically unemployed) refers to unemployment caused by economic downturns, which is not the case here.
