The demand for labor is the downward-sloping portion of the MRP curve. Demand depends on both MPP and the marginal revenue from selling the output. Only the downward-sloping portion of MRP is relevant; because along the upward-sloping portion, the firm gains by hiring additional workers so long as MRP exceeds wage.
