    How does productivity in an industry lead to unemployment
    How does the productivity in one industry lead to an increase in the unemployment rate within that industry if wages are unable to adjust downward?

    I don't understand why the wage would ever adjust downward. And if it does, what does that mean?

    I believe it should be productivity INCREASE. Then what happens, lets say new machinery to increase production. Look at the auto industry, robots mostly build cars now, not people.

    Workers take a cut in pay when profits are down, to keep their job and keep the business going. Again the auto industry is an example during the economic downturn of '07.
