A reason why a perfectly competitive firm's demand for labor curve slopes downward is that

▸

each additional unit of labor hired is less efficient than previously hired units.

▸

the extra cost of hiring additional units of labor increases as a firm hires more units of labor.

▸

in the short run, as more labor is hired, labor's marginal product falls because of the law of diminishing returns.

▸

the firm's demand curve for the product that uses labor is downward sloping.
