Labor market data is the collection and analysis of information about the supply and demand of labor in different occupations, industries, and locations. Labor market data can provide information on various aspects of employment, such as wages, hours, skills, education, training, and projections. Among the four options, only earnings are directly related to labor market data, as they reflect the compensation of workers for their labor. Accommodations, transportation, and retirement benefits are not provided by labor market data, as they are not directly related to the value of labor, but rather to the living conditions, mobility, and future security of workers. References:

The Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) is a federal tax credit available to employers for hiring and employing individuals from certain targeted groups who have faced significant barriers to employment1. The WOTC aims to promote workplace diversity and facilitate access to good jobs for American workers1. The WOTC is available for wages paid to certain individuals who begin work on or before December 31, 20252.

Under the WOTC program, participating employers may do all the following:

• Hire as many new individuals who qualify for these tax savings as they need3. There is no limit on the number of individuals an employer can hire to qualify for the WOTC.
• Make the hiring decisions3. The employer has the sole discretion to decide whom to hire and whether to claim the WOTC for eligible employees.
• Complete minimal paperwork to claim the tax credit3. The employer and the job applicant must complete Form 8850, Pre-Screening Notice and Certification Request for the Work Opportunity Credit, and submit it to the State Workforce Agency within 28 days of the new employee’s start date1. The employer must also file Form 5884, Work Opportunity Credit, or Form 5884-C, Work Opportunity Credit for Qualified Tax-Exempt Organizations Hiring Qualified Veterans, to claim the credit1.

However, participating employers may not do the following:

• Hire members of their family who are disabled. The WOTC is not available for hiring relatives or dependents of the employer or the employer’s shareholders, partners, or members. This rule applies regardless of whether the relative or dependent belongs to a targeted group or not.

Therefore, the correct answer is A. Hiring members of their family who are disabled is the only option that is not allowed under the WOTC program. References: 1: Work Opportunity Tax Credit 2: Small businesses can benefit from the work opportunity tax credit 3: What is Work Opportunity Tax Credit?

Employment First is a national systems-change framework centered on the premise that all individuals, including those individuals with the most significant disabilities, are capable of full participation in Competitive Integrated Employment (CIE) and community life1. Under this approach, publicly-financed systems are urged to align policies, regulatory guidance, andreimbursement structures to commit to CIE as the priority option with respect to the use of publicly-financed day and employment services for youth and adults with significant disabilities1. Many states have formally committed to the Employment First framework through official executive proclamation or formal legislative action1. Employment First is also one of the core values and principles of APSE, the Association of People Supporting Employment First2. References: 1: Employment First | U.S. Department of Labor 2: About APSE - APSE
