Question

Is this sentence correct? Automation and shortage of skills are contributing to the current unemployment rate.

Answer 1

From this sentence I can assume it is a thesis statement, it is an expository paper, and you have two main points that you will address in the paper. It sounds fine as a thesis statement, as for grammar intricacies, I don't spot any, but that isn't my strong suit.

Answer 2

it is fine, but it would flow better if you wrote "Automation and shortage of skills contribute to the current unemployment rate"

Answer 3

if the question is about the grammar of the sentence, yes it's correct. about the content and information in the sentence, you would need to support it with examples, facts, evidence, etc.

Answer 4

ya i guess if its written as "contribute to" instead of "contributing" it'll fit better.

Answer 5

You need a descriptive for "shortage" as in "a shortage" because you've put the shortages descriptor in a preposition. Other than that you're golden.
