Consider the market for labor depicted by the demand and supply curves that follow. Use the calculator to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to the calculator. Graph Input Tool Market for Labor 24 21 Supply 3.00 18 Wage (Dollars per hour) Labor Demanded (Thousands of workers) 1,050 150 Labor Supplied (Thousands of workers) 15 WAGE (Dollars per hour) 12 Demand 3 0 0 150 300 450 600 750 900 1050 1200 LABOR (Thousands of workers) Complete the following table with the quantity of labor supplied and demanded if the wage is set at $15.00. Then indicate whether this wage will result in a shortage or a surplus. Hint: Be sure to pay attention to the units used on the graph and in the table. For example, type in 100 for 100,000 workers. Labor Demanded (Thousands of workers) Labor Supplied (Thousands of workers) Wage Shortage or Surplus? $15.00 Suppose a senator considers introducing a bill to legislate a minimum hourly wage of $15.00. Which of the following statements are true? Check all that apply. Binding minimum wages cause structural unemployment. In the absence of price controls, a surplus puts downward pressure on wages until they fall to the equilibrium. In this labor market, a minimum wage of $11.50 would be binding. If the minimum wage is set at $15.00, the market will not reach equilibrium.
