Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Renovating the nation's highway system will most effectively target unused labor resources in the construction industry, as it requires a large number of construction workers. This will create job opportunities for unemployed workers, reduce the unemployment rate, and boost economic growth. Increasing teacher quality, investing in research on solar energy, and better funding for medical care for the elderly may also create job opportunities, but they are less likely to target the specific skills and experience of unemployed construction workers.
