[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it possible for the economy to grow with less jobs? In other words, can the economy keep growing by employing less people?[/quote] Off topic, but the appropriate word here is “fewer” jobs and “fewer” people. Not “less.” As a rule, if you can count the object in question (in this case “jobs” or “people”) then the word to use is fewer. You might cry less or weigh less than you did before. Or a person has less money than they did last year. But the number of dollars in your pocket is fewer than twenty. [/quote]
