How are Employment and immigration linked to industry?

• A. Because industry creates jobs that need workers.
• B. Because immigration reduces population growth.
• C. Because industry reduces demand for workers.
• D. Because immigration is unrelated to labor needs.

Answer: (A)

Industries grow and expand when there is demand for their goods and services, and that growth creates more job opportunities. Employment then rises because businesses need more workers to produce, sell, and support their operations. Immigration links to this process because people moving from other places can fill those job openings, bringing in needed skills and labor to help industries expand even further. So, the direct connection is that industry creates jobs, and immigration helps supply the workers to fill them. The other ideas don’t fit as well because immigration doesn’t inherently reduce population growth, industry doesn’t typically reduce the demand for workers (it usually increases it, though automation can change some roles), and immigration is not unrelated to labor needs.
