Passage: Let's start with that part time job at McDonalds. You may find that at different times of the year, you may be offered lower or higher wages. For example, during the school year you may be offered higher wages. Why would this be? Let's think. Who is the bulk of the company's workforce? Teenagers who make up a large portion of the labor force, must limit the amount of time they work because of school. This means that McDonald's labor ------------------ is limited.

Answer: Is the answer supply???

Among the word choices, I too think "supply" is the best choice for the blank.
