Answer to Question 1

Factors that influence the demand for labor are the wage rate, the price of the firm's output, the prices of other factors of production, and technology. A lower wage rate increases the quantity of labor demanded. A rise in the price of a substitute for labor or a fall in the price of a complement for labor increases the demand for labor. A new technology or new capital that increases the marginal product of labor increases the demand for labor.
