Response

To solve the crossword, we analyze each clue:

Across Clues (Partial, based on visible grid):
  • 6. (5 letters, visible as "w a _ e s"): Likely "wages" (the price of labor, matching the partial clue "the price of labor").
  • 7. (Clue: "Individuals hired when workers strike"): "Scabs" (workers who take the place of striking employees, but wait—wait, the grid for 7: let's check intersections. Wait, the vertical word intersecting with 7: the vertical word (Down 2? No, Down 2 is "outsourcing" maybe? Wait, Down 2: "Sending jobs outside of the country" → outsourcing (matches the vertical grid: o-u-t-s-o-u-r-c-i-n-g? Wait, the vertical grid for 2: let's count letters. "Sending jobs outside country" is "outsourcing" (10 letters? Wait the vertical grid from 2 (second down) has letters: o (top), u, s, o, u, r, c, i, n, q? No, maybe typo. Wait the horizontal 1: "arbitration" (a-r-b-i-t-r-a-t-i-o-n, 11 letters? Wait the first horizontal is 11 letters: a-r-b-i-t-r-a-t-i-o-n (yes, "arbitration"). Then Down 2: starts at 2 (second down), first letter o, then u, s, o, u, r, c, i, n, q? No, maybe "outsourcing" (o-u-t-s-o-u-r-c-i-n-g? But the grid for Down 2: let's see the vertical column from 2 (the "o" in "arbitration" (position 2: "o" in arbitration is column 10? Wait the first horizontal is "arbitration" (a(1), r(2), b(3), i(4), t(5), r(6), a(7), t(8), i(9), o(10), n(11)). Then Down 2 is column 10: o (row 1), u (row 2), s (row 4? Wait the horizontal 5 is "boycott" (b-o-y-c-o-t-t, 7 letters: columns 4-10? Wait "boycott" is 7 letters (b(1), o(2), y(3), c(4), o(5), t(6), t(7)). So column 6 (t in boycott) intersects with Down 2? Maybe not. Let's focus on visible answers:
  • Horizontal 1: "arbitration" (a-r-b-i-t-r-a-t-i-o-n) – matches the grid.
  • Horizontal 3: "scabs" (s-c-a-b-s) – 5 letters, matches the grid.
  • Horizontal 5: "boycott" (b-o-y-c-o-t-t) – 7 letters, matches the grid.
  • Horizontal 6: "wages" (w-a-g-e-s? Wait grid shows "w a _ e s" – no, "w a q e s"? No, typo? Wait no, "wages" is w-a-g-e-s, but grid has "w a _ e s" with the middle letter as "q"? No, maybe "waqes" is wrong. Wait no, the clue for 6: "the price of labor" → "wages" (correct, 5 letters: w-a-g-e-s? Wait the grid for 6 is 5 letters: w(1), a(2), _(3), e(4), s(5). Oh! Wait the vertical word through 6 (position 3) is "blacklisted" or "blacklist"? Wait the vertical column through 3 (scabs, position 4: "b"): the vertical word is "blacklisted"? Wait "scabs" (s-c-a-b-s) – position 4 is "b", then below it: l, c, k, l, i, s, t, e, d? Wait the vertical word from "b" (scabs, position 4) down: b, l, c, k, l, i, s, t, e, d? That would be "blacklisted" (10 letters). Then horizontal 7: "strikebreakers"? No, the clue for 7: "Individuals hired when workers strike" → "scabs" no, "strikebreakers" is long. Wait the grid for 7: starts at column 1, row 5? No, the horizontal 7 is a long word, maybe "strikebreakers" but the grid shows empty boxes.
Down Clues:
  • 2. "Sending jobs outside of the country"outsourcing (matches the vertical grid: o-u-t-s-o-u-r-c-i-n-g? But the grid for Down 2: let's count letters. "Outsourcing" is 10 letters? Wait the vertical column from 2 (o in arbitration, row 1) down: o (row 1), u (row 2), s (row 3), o (row 4), u (row 5), r (row 6), c (row 7), i (row 8), n (row 9), g (row 10)? But the grid shows "q" at the bottom, so maybe "outsourcing" is correct (o-u-t-s-o-u-r-c-i-n-g, but the last letter here is "q" – maybe typo, but "outsourcing" is the term for sending jobs abroad.
  • **4. "Individuals are denied employment due to their..."…

Answer:

outsourcing
