Question 13 1pts Suppose that the labor market for low skill jobs in California is close to a competitive labor market. Many of low skill labor are from Mexico and Central America. Some politicians are considering restricting immigration from these countries. This would cause a decrease in the supply of labor leading to an increase in the equilibrium wage and an increase in the equilibrium quantity of labor employed. a decrease in the supply of labor leading to an increase...
