Answer: True

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally speaking, a tax credit would bring about a lower unemployment rate for unskilled labor as opposed to a situation where there is no tax credit.

A tax credit would reduce the amount of taxes that a company is to pay which would leave them with more income to reinvest into the business. This reinvestment will lead to the business having a higher production capacity such that it requires more workers so they will hire more workers, both unskilled and skilled thereby reducing the unemployment rate for both.
