Question

During this week, a recession begins to strike the island. Three of the five employers have reduced their workforce sizes. The unemployment rate has gone from 0% to 7%. Unfortunately, the employers are not able to offer severance, so those who have lost their jobs do not have any financial security.

While your island deals with this recession, ClemCock seems to be thriving. In fact, ClemCock has a new IT company and is recruiting individuals to work for it. This company offers competitive salaries and full health benefits. During the recruiting process, representatives from ClemCock have come to your island to interview potential candidates for the positions. For many, interest in moving to ClemCock has piqued.

Because ClemCock’s economy is stimulated, their government and private sector have been able to invest in innovative medical technology. Their hospitals offer state of the art equipment and devices. Your island’s hospital equipment pales in comparison--and you note that several individuals are traveling to ClemCock for critical medical procedures. Because of this, your hospitals are losing profit. Also, many doctors and nurses on your island are questioning why their facilities are not keeping up with ClemCock’s technology.
