Answer 2

Answer: Will continue to rise

Explanation:

Looking at the graph one notices that after a slight dip in the unemployment rate from August 2010 to January 2011, the unemployment rate began to rise and by November 2011 was still rising.

The arrow on the graph serves to indicate the direction the unemployment rate is going and as it is pointing upwards, this means that the Unemployment rate will continue to rise.

This was down to the fact that in 2011 the US was still yet to recover from the Great Recession of 2008 - 2009.
