I could see arguments for both economic and labor market factors, but I lean towards labor market since it directly addresses the workforce dynamics.

This reminds me of a practice question we did on international factors, but I feel like the focus is more on the local labor market in this case.

I bet the HR Manager wishes they could just outsource this whole environmental scan to a group of monkeys. At least they'd have a 25% chance of getting the right answer!

Hmm, I'm torn between B and D. Maybe I should ask the HR Manager if they're also evaluating the exchange rate and the price of raw materials in Shenzhen. Those would be economic factors too.
