Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rate at which new workers enter the work force does not affect the duration of unemployment. The other options all have a potential impact on the duration of unemployment. The availability of unemployment benefits may disincentivize job search and prolong unemployment. The demographic make-up of the labor force, such as age or education level, may affect job availability and matching. The organization of the labor market, such as the prevalence of temporary or part-time jobs, may also impact the duration of unemployment.
