Employers of last resort are employers in an economy to whom workers go for jobs when no other jobs are available; the term is by analogy with "lender of last resort". The phrase is used in two senses: * undesirable jobs, often private sector, which are only taken as a last resort; * a formal government job guarantee program, where the government promises to act as employer of last resort, employing all comers. The sense of a job guarantee program is used and advocated by some schools of Post-Keynesian economists, notably by authors of Modern Monetary Theory at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, the Levy Economics Institute (both USA) and in the Centre of Full Employment and Equity (Australia), who advocate it as a solution for unemployment. == Use == Colloquially, this may refer to work which is undesirable to most people or pays poorly - for instance, in the United States economy, many fast-food industry jobs represent last-resort employment for many workers. In economics, the phrase often refers to employers which can hire workers when no other employers are hiring. Their presence may soften the negative impact on employment of downturns in the business cycle. One example of such a program would be the Civilian Conservation Corps, a government agency intended to provide work to young, unemployed men. Military Keynesianism argues that the military can act as an employer of last resort. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Employer of last resort」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
