4. You might notice that some jobs are advertised by job agencies. What is a job agency and how do they make their money?

A job agency is a company that makes its money by getting jobs for people there are 2 main ways they make their money one of them is, when the employee gets the job his/her pay will go to the agency and a percentage of that will go to the company and the rest will go to the employee, or the other way is that the employer will pay both parties per month and they make their money by doing that.

5. Explain what is meant by 'Permanent' and 'Contract' in the job market.

Permanent and contract jobs have one big difference which is the pay the contract employee is played double that of the permanent job but the reason for it being double the amount of the permanent, is that the contract job is very risky and its temporary.
With a contract the employer can sack or fire the contracted the employer at any time as they are on a contract, the permanent job is a lot more reliable, than a contract also with a permanent job you will keep that job for a long period of time compared to the brief contract that the other have.
