A lumberjack loses his job because timber cutting restrictions are imposed by the epa to protect the spotted owl habitat. This lumberjack would be

unemployed?

Explanation:

not sure what the context is so this is my best guess. hope this helps

i think it can have both positive and negative effects on businesses.

for example:

lets say you own a small business and taxes go up 4% that means it is going to cost your business more money to buy product to sell. but at the same time you make more money from the tax rise.

that is my theory.
