Abstract: Examines the reasons behind the confusing unemployment situation, characterized by a sharp decline in joblessness at the close of 1977, suggesting that this was primarily the result of two unusual developments, rather than any solid "improvement" in economic conditions. Five recent trends in the labor market were considered. (Author/RK)
