Equilibrium wage is the wage where labor supplied is equal to the labor demanded.
Equilibrium quantity is where demand of labor is equal to supply of labor.
Minimum wage is set above equilibrium wage which leads to excess supply of labor. Supply of labor is more than the demand of labor.

Labour Markets: Consider a hypothetical market for low-skilled labour. For simplicity, assume the short-run supply of workers is given by the equation Qs = 100 + 10w, where Qs is the quantity supplied and w is the wage. The demand curve is given by Qd = 250 − 5w, whereQd is the quantity demanded. Provide some intuition as to why the elasticities are inelastic.
