    The economy of a nation requires【46】. Total output must grow if the country is to absorb about 1.5 million new workers who enter the labor force each year and more workers who are replaced each year as a form of technological change.

At the same time unemployment stood at 6.80% of the labor force. Per-capita income also grew again during 1993.

    C) a healthy rate of economic growth
    D) out of work
    E) they must increase real gross domestic product (GDP) continuously
