Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The government can use fiscal policy to shift the labor demand curve to the right during a recession. Increasing spending increases the demand for the products that firms produce, shifting the labor demand curve to the right. Decreasing taxes give firms and consumers more after-tax income, thereby increasing their purchasing power and increasing demand for the products that firms produce, shifting the labor demand curve to the right.
