1. Consider a low-wage labor market. Workers in this market are not presently covered by the minimum wage. But the government is still considering implementing such legislation. If implemented, this law would require employers in the market to pay workers a $5 hourly wage. Suppose all workers in the market are equally productive, the current market clearing wage is $4 per hour., and that at this market- clearing wage there are 600 employed workers. Further suppose that under the minimum...
