Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Labor unions, with their collective bargaining power, try to get wages for their members which are above the market clearing wage rate. These higher wages often result in employers hiring fewer workers than they otherwise could afford to hire or would like to hire, and structural unemployment results.
