5. Elasticity of labor supply is defined as: Percentage change in quantity of labor supplied Percentage change in wage rate Assume that in Illinois 1,000,000 hours of labor are supplied at the current minimum wage. Then the minimum wage rises 20%, from $8.25/hr. to $9.90/hr. How many more hours of labor will workers be willing to supply at the new minimum wage if elasticity of labor supply is 0.55?
