Jim lost his job in a car assembly factory to a robot and his skills will no longer be needed. Which terms can be used to describe Jim? Choose two correct answers.

Jim has lost his job, so he is unemployed. Because a robot has replaced his work and his existing skills are no longer needed, the job loss reflects a lasting change in the structure of the labor market; this is structural unemployment. Therefore, the correct terms are “structurally unemployed” and “unemployed.”
