Suppose the demand for burger flippers is LD = 400 – 20W where L=number of burger flippers and W=nominal wage rate ($/hr.) The equilibrium wage is $5 but the government mandates a $6 minimum wage. Draw a graph to show what happens to the labor demand for burger flippers after this minimum wage law is enacted. Suppose there is an uncovered sector (no minimum wage law) where LS = -100 + 80W and LD = 300 – 20W before the minimum wage law is put into effect. Suppose all the workers that can’t find jobs as a result of the minimum wage law enter the uncovered sector. Compute how the labor supply function changes. Calculate the equilibrium wage and employment in the uncovered sector? Draw another graph illustrating these effects. Don't copy solutions from other sites!!!!!
The demand for mill worker hours is given by Q" = 1,000 - 70W, where W is the wage rate per worker hour. The supply of mill worker hours is given by Q = 25W- 140. The local government would like for mill workers to be covered by health-care insurance; however, the mill does not currently provide coverage. For this reason, the local government imposes a $5 tax on the mill for each worker hour it hires. The government plans to use this tax revenue to purchase health-care insurance for the mill workers. What portion of the tax is paid for by mill workers (supply) and what portion is paid for by the mill (demand)? Mill workers pay 50% of the tax, while the mill pays 50% of the tax. Mill workers pay 0% of the tax, while the mill pays 100% of the tax. This is because the local government is charging the mill for each worker hour hired. The mill workers pay 26.32% of the tax imposed on the mill, while the mill pays 73.68% of the tax. The mill workers pay 73.68% of the tax imposed on the mill,…
In 2019, the country of Cheeseling was suffering from a period of high unemployment. The new president, Chad Cheddar, appointed Merry Parmesan as his chief economist. Ms. Parmesan and her staff estimated these supply and demand curves for labor from data obtained from the secretary of labor, Sore Mozzarella: QD=190-6W Qs = 10W - 18 where 'Q' is the quantity of labor supplied/demanded and 'W' is the wage rate in strings, the currency of Cheeseling. The equilibrium wage is strings per hour. (Enter your response as an integer.)

Suppose a senator introduces a bill to legislate a minimum hourly wage of $6. This type of price control is called a WAGE (Dollars per hour)
How would I analyze how the equilibrium wage and number of working hours will change when a company has a great demand for workers (i.e. grocery stores now) yet some current workers don't want to work as many hours? How would I explain the three cases that would depend on the relative size of change in labor demand and labor supply? For example. Case 1. Change in supply(∆LS)| = |Change in Demand(∆LD )| . Case 2: |∆LS| > |∆LD| . Case 3: |∆LS| < |∆LD| I'm trying to understand how the equilibrium wage and number of working hours will change under these different scenarios. Thanks
Suppose that Congress passes a law which requires employers to provide employees some healthcare benefits that raises the cost to the employers by $5 per hour. a) What is the impact on the demand for labor? (Think quantitatively) b) If the employees value the benefit exactly equal to the cost, what will be the impact on the supply of labor? c) How will the law affect the wage and level of employment? Are the employers better off or worse off? Are the employees better off or worse off? d) Suppose before the implementation of the law, the wage in the market was $3 above the minimum wage. In this case, how the law will affect the wage and level of employment?
Q47 In the Canadian labour market, demand for labour can be impacted by elasticity of the product in which labour is an input.

MCQ 1 Consider a competitive labour market in which the current equilibrium wage is £10 per hour. If the government imposes a minimum wage of £8 per hour, in this market we would expect to observe: A a fall in the wage and an increase in the demand for labour a rise in the wage and a fall in the demand for labour C a rise in the wage, but the change in the demand for labour can't be detemined from the information provided D no change in the wage and no change in the demand for labour a fall in the wage, but the change in the demand for labour can't be determined from the information provided I do not want to answer this question.
