a. Draw the labor market. Indicate graphically and discuss the impact of the minimum wage on the labor market.
b. It has been argued that the negative impacts of a minimum
wage increase (higher unemployment) are more than offset by the
favorable impact on incomes (wage*labor use). Such an argument
rests on the assumption that the elasticity of labor demand in
response to a change in wage rates is a. Elastic; b. Inelastic or
c. Unitary in Elasticity. Which range of elasticity value would be
consistent with such a conclusion. Use an example of your own
derivation, to support your answer. Do not just
calculate an elasticity. Calculate an elasticity that supports this
position! and then show that it is supported by your
calculations.

A case study in chapter 6 discusses the federal minimum-wage law. Suppose the minimum wage is above the equilibrium wage in the market for unskilled labor. Using a supply-and-demand diagram of the market for unskilled labor, show the market wage, the number of workers who are employed, and the number of workers who are unemployed. Also show the total wage payments to unskilled workers. Now suppose the secretary of labor proposes a decrease in the minimum wage (with the lower...

Which of the following statements is true? The lowest of the federal or state minimum wage levels prevails in each state. The minimum wage has the greatest impact on the skilled labor market. The minimum wage has the greatest impact on the unskilled labor market. The intention of a minimum wage is to raise the wage rate for the skilled workers. The federal minimum wage, in the United States, is followed by all the states as their minimum wage. Hydraulic...

For each of the following developments, discuss the impact on the market. Will the labor market reach equilibrium? Will there be a labor shortage or unemployment? What will happen to the wage and quantity of labor hired? Use graphs to explain your answer and summarize your answer in a sentence or two. a. The price of gasoline increases substantially (hint: gasoline and cars are complements). b. The government tightens regulations on hiring foreign workers (causing fewer workers to be legally...

The Economics of Immigration
Paul Krugman
In 1970, only 5% of U.S. workers had been born abroad. By 2016,
however, 17% of American workers had immigrated to the United
States, both legally and illegally. (1)
