Employers who hire the same type of employees as the establishment.

• A. Communication
• B. Listening
• C. Competitive employers
• D. Compensation

Answer: (C)

The concept being tested is how employers are categorized in the labor market based on the pool of employees they seek. If an employer recruits the same type of workers as another establishment, they’re competing for the same talent. That makes them competitive employers, because they operate in the same labor market and vie for the same pool of candidates.

The other options don’t fit this idea: communication and listening are skills used in interactions, not descriptions of employer types; compensation refers to pay levels, which influence competition but don’t define the category of the employer itself.
