At a price of $5/hour, Bob wants to hire three workers.  When the price rises to $7/hour, Bob wants to hire only two workers.  Bob's price elasticity of demand for workers is calculated as_________  , which means workers are a(n) __________ resource for Bob (type either elastic  /  inelastic  /  unitary elastic  in the second blank and spell correctly).  For all numbers, please make sure you round to two decimal places (putting the required digits to the left of the decimal point and two digits to the right of the decimal point and an additional hint is to use the midpoint method)
