in a communist command economy, workers are employed by the agencies. the consumers. the producers. the state.

Workers in a communist command economy are employed by the state.

Quick Scoop

In a communist-style command economy, almost all productive resources—factories, land, major enterprises—are collectively or publicly owned and controlled by government planning authorities. Because the state owns or directs the main “means of production,” it is effectively the employer of the workers who operate those state enterprises.

Why not the other options?

• Not “the agencies”
  Government agencies may administer plans or specific sectors, but they do so as arms of the state, not as separate employers in a market sense.

• Not “the consumers”
  Consumers have limited direct influence, since production and employment are set by central plans rather than by consumer hiring or market demand.

• Not “the producers” (as private firms)
  In a classic communist command system, there are no independent private producers hiring labor for profit; enterprises are state-owned or state- directed.

So, for the multiple‑choice question:

In a communist command economy, workers are employed by
a. the agencies
b. the consumers
c. the producers
d. the state

The correct answer is: d. the state.
