Sometimes economists come to counter-intuitive conclusions. That happened when Professor Ernie did a case study on a small city. They have a thriving top-notch medical center which was adding lots of surgical staff. Firms prepping diamonds for jewelry and movie-editing companies are relocating to the city. And the sawmill was adding a shift. Now hiring. His seemingly illogical conclusion now makes sense. With "cutting jobs" they saw increased levels of employment!
