Wage Labor Demanded Labor Supplied Shortage or Surplus? (Thousands of workers) (Thousands of workers) $7.50 625 375 Shortage Suppose a senator considers introducing a bill to legislate a minimum hourly wage of $7.50. Which of the following statements are true? Check all that apply. In the absence of price controls, a shortage puts downward pressure on wages until they fall to the equilibrium. In this labor market, a minimum wage of $10.50 would be binding. Binding minimum wages cause cyclical unemployment. If the minimum wage is set at $7.50, the market will still be able to reach equilibrium.
At $7.50
Labour demanded is 625 thousand
Labour supplied is 375 thousand
Therfore it is a SHORTAGE.
The following statements are correct-
1. In this labor market, a minimum wage of $10.50 would be binding.
Reason- since the equilibrium is below $10.50 the minimum wage of $10.50 is binding.
