Paper   Assignment Instructions  A retail store
has recently hired you as a consultant to advise
on economic conditions. One important indicator
that the retail store is concerned about is the
unemployment rate. The retail store has found
that an increase in the unemployment rate will
cause a lack of consumer spending in their
stores. Retail stores use the unemployment rate
to estimate how much inventory to keep at their
stores, which is important in maintaining cost
effectiveness. In this consultant role you will
apply calculations and research to create a
predictive sales report.
