Question

In one of her weekly live videos, the Federal Reserve Chairman remarked that inflation had begun to tick upward. However, unemployment in the U.S was still quite high and economic growth had slowed. With short-term interest rates close to 0 (zero), the Chair did not visualize that ____________ policy would be able to do anything for the high unemployment problem. She felt that _______ policy would be more useful for bolstering employment, but that would require local and state governments and the federal government to provide tax breaks for corporations.

Answer 1

Monetary, Fiscal

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest rate can be easily be said to be the amount due on an a loan. Monetary policies usually involve rules and regulation regarding money and how it affects the economy and sub-sections of the economy.

In the question, monetary policy h nothing to do to the state of unemployment in the US since no unemployed persons can be taking loans as there would not be a means to pay back.

Fiscal policy on the other hand can be defined as the use of a government's revenue collections and expenditure to influence an economy. This means that the government of any country uses collections such as taxes or tax cuts to improve the situation of the country.

From the above question, a fiscal policy can be used to tackle the unemployment in the US as the government can channel its expenditure and collections to the creation of jobs through establishment of companies and other opportunities.

Cheers.
