The city of Hope has a labor force of 1000. Twenty people lose their jobs each month and remain unemployed for exactly one month before finding jobs. On January 1, May 1, and September 1 of each year 50 people lose their jobs for a period of four months before finding new jobs.
(a)   What is the unemployment rate in any given month?

(c)   What is the average duration of an unemployment spell?
(d)   On any given date, how many people are undergoing short spells, and how many are undergoing long spells?
