Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question is asking about the labor market in Brent's town. Since Brent and his former coworkers have been unable to find jobs, it suggests that there is a surplus of supply of labor (more people looking for jobs than there are job openings available). This would cause the demand for labor to fall, as employers have a larger pool of candidates to choose from and can be more selective with their hiring. Therefore, option D is the best choice as it accurately reflects the current state of the labor market in Brent's town.
