Answer :- Option 'a' is the correct Answer
The elasticity measure of labor supply for primary workers in the U.S is about 1.
The empirical evidence indicates that primary workers are not very responsive to changes in their wages. Their estimated elasticity of labor supply with respect to after-tax wages of 1.
Secondary earners are much more responsive with an estimated elasticity of.5 to 1. Most of the response is the extensive margin (decision to work or not) instead of the intensive (hours worked conditional on working).

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?

If the wage elasticity of labor supply is negative, what can we say about the slope of the labor supply curve and the relative sizes of the income and substitution effects? Is leisure a normal or inferior good in this case? Will a fall in the tax rate on earnings increase or decrease tax revenues?

25) What is measured by the price elasticity of supply? A) The price elasticity of supply measures how responsive producers are to changes in the price of other goods. B) The price elasticity of supply measures how responsive producers are to changes in income. C) The price elasticity of supply measures how responsive producers are to changes in the price of a product. D) The price elasticity of supply is a measure of the slope of the supply curve. E)...

Most estimates suggest that workers in the United States bear about 80 to 85% of payroll taxes. (a) Given these values of tax incidence, what can you say about the elasticity of labor supply relative to the elasticity of labor demand? (b) Policymakers are considering an increase in payroll taxes on just firms. Do you anticipate this policy will be effective in shifting the tax burden to firms?
