Question

1. in which industry are workers most likely to have varying income from one month to the next?

a. armed forces
b. manufacturing
c. leisure and hospitality
d. construction

Explanation:

To determine the industry with varying monthly income, we analyze each option:

• A. Armed forces: Salaries are typically stable (fixed pay, allowances).
• B. Manufacturing: Workers often have fixed wages or consistent production - based pay (less month - to - month variation).
• C. Leisure and hospitality: Income depends on factors like seasonal demand (e.g., tourism peaks/troughs), fluctuating customer traffic, and variable hours (e.g., fewer shifts in off - seasons), leading to inconsistent monthly earnings.
• D. Construction: While weather can affect work, projects often have more predictable (though sometimes irregular) income compared to leisure/hospitality’s demand - driven volatility.

Answer:

C. leisure and hospitality
