Question 26 • CMS 2026-2027 Economics and Personal Finance HONORS INITIAL CREDIT

In a mixed market economy, what is a typical way the government can reduce unemployment?

Answer
A
The government can create new farm fields to hire workers.
B
The government can pay for projects to create work.
C
The government can control new factories to provide jobs.
D
The government can raise taxes to encourage employment.

Explanation

A government can reduce unemployment by funding public projects, such as building roads or schools, which hire workers directly and can create jobs with contractors and suppliers. So the correct choice is “The government can pay for projects to create work.” Raising taxes does not typically encourage employment, and controlling factories is not a typical approach in a mixed market economy.
