What they're expecting is that fewer people will be motivated to work (or to work a second job, perhaps) They should also expect that some people will appear to reduce their hours or quit that second job, when in fact they trade it for some off the books work. For example, the musician who used to work part time at Applebees might just teach guitar lessons for cash in his spare time instead. The person supplementing the spouse's income is not going to just stay home and watch TV...they might run an unlicensed daycare or become a basement hairstylist or freelance web designer for cash.
