Answer:

This is because in a free market, the prices of goods and services are determined by market forces, and the price mechanism will always keep the market at equilibrium.

Explanation:

The free market is a market without government intervention, equilibrium price and quantity are determined by the interaction of the market forces, also called price mechanism , which Adams Smith referred to as the invisible hands in the market.

The free market cannot operate outside the equilibrium because, the market forces will always keep the market towards equilibrium. Even if equilibrium is distorted, as a result of any shock, the market forces will bring the market towards equilibrium all things being equal, except there is market failure.

a free market is a market in which prices of goods and services are set by demand and supply and are allowed to reach their point of equilibrium without government intervention

) establishing government employment agencies to connect unemployed workers to job vacancies 

Explanation:

The options needed to answer the last question are :

a) extending the number of weeks for which unemployed workers are eligible for unemployment insurance benefits from the government 

b) establishing government employment agencies to connect unemployed workers to job vacancies 

c) offering recipients of unemployment insurance benefits a cash bonus if they find a new job within a specified number of weeks

The law of supply states that the higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied and the lower the price, the lower the quantity supplied.

It follows that if the world price of cotton falls, the quantity supplied would fall too as firms would reduce their production of cotton. If firms reduce their production of cotton, they would need less labour and the demand for Labour would fall.

In the industry that makes use of cotton has an input, the fall in world price would make cotton cheaper. The firm would increase the quantity demanded for and as a result production would increase. Firms would need more labour as a result of the increase in production. Therefore, the demand for Labour would increase.

Frictional unemployment is unemployment that results as a result of labour moving from one job to another

Establishing government employment agencies to connect unemployed workers to job vacancies would ease the job search of labour and reduce unemployment.
