Answer:

.increase; increase

Step-by-step explanation:

Increase in education means increases in productivity all things being equal. This increase in productivity will lead to more demand for labor as the market will be attracted by the quality of labor.

The increase in demand for labor will lead to increase in wages all things being equal. This means the demand curve for labor will shift to the right.
