Suppose the university sets the same wage for all assistant professors in each department. Fill in the following table with the quantity demanded and supplied for each type of assistant professor when the university sets the wage to $60,000 and $90,000, respectively. University Wage Assistant Music Professors Assistant Engineering Professors (Dollars) Quantity Quantity Shortage or Quantity Quantity Shortage or Demanded Supplied Surplus Demanded Supplied Surplus 60,000 20 20 Neither 90,000 5 16 16 Neither In summary, if the university sets a wage of $60,000 for all assistant professors in every department, which is equivalent to a price ceiling for engineering professors, there will be more v assistant engineering professors hired by the university than there would be if the university paid assistant engineering professors their equilibrium wage. Similarly, if the university sets a wage of $90,000 for all assistant professors in every department, which is equivalent to a price floor for music professors, there will be assistant music professors hired by the university than there would be if the university paid assistant music professors their equilibrium wage.

Name some factors that can cause a shift in the demand curve in labor markets.
draw a graph with this difinitions To visualize the impact of the minimum wage on the labor market, I have created an original graph (see below). This graph depicts a hypothetical labor market before and after an increase in the minimum wage. [Please insert your original graph here.] In the graph, the x-axis represents the quantity of labor, and the y-axis represents the wage rate. The blue curve (labeled "Initial Equilibrium") represents the initial labor market equilibrium, where the supply of labor (S) intersects with the demand for labor (D) at point A, determining the initial wage rate and employment level. The red curve (labeled "After Minimum Wage Increase") illustrates the impact of a minimum wage hike. When the government imposes a higher minimum wage, it acts as a price floor (represented by the horizontal line). This results in a new equilibrium at point B, where the wage rate is higher, but employment is lower compared to the initial equilibrium.
Q34 Justin Trudeau, who owns a barbershop in Ottawa, charges $8 per haircut. By hiring one barber named Sophie at $11 per hour, the shop can provide 22 haircuts per eight-hour day. By hiring a second barber, Gregoire, at the same wage rate, the shop can now provide a total of 42 haircuts per day. The MP of Gregoire, the second barber is Multiple Choice 42 haircuts. 20 haircuts. $242. is negative. $176.
Q47 In the Canadian labour market, demand for labour can be impacted by elasticity of the product in which labour is an input. Assume that the coefficient of elasticity of product demand in Canada is 2.4 in industry A (cannabis sector) and is 0.8 in industry B (fertilizer industry). Other things equal, labour demand will be Multiple Choice relatively elastic in both industries A and B. more elastic in industry B than in A. constant in both industries A and B. more elastic in industry A than in B. relatively inelastic in both industries A and B.
If the minimum wage is set above the equilibrium wage, the quantity of labor supplied by workers is ______ to the quantity demanded by employers. 1. Lower 2. Same 3. Minor 4. Superior
Draw a labor market for un-skilled labor assuming demand is perfectly inelastic. 8b. Insert a minimum wage above the equilibrium wage into the market and illustrate the new wage and new level of employment. 8c. If the number of un-skilled workers rises after a minimum wage is implemented, use economic analysis and derived demand to explain this effect in the labor market.
Referred to the above graph of the labor market. The government decides to impose a wage tax as shown on the graph. If the number of workers hired after the imposition of the tax is 800 then the total amount of tax is $___
Provide a briefly explanation for the determination of wage. Support your explanation with and appropriate diagram. The demand curve for gardeners is GD = 19 – W, where G = the number of gardeners, and W = the hourly wage. The supply curve is GS = 14 + 2W a.Graph the demand curve and the supply curve. What is the equilibrium wage and equilibrium number of gardeners hired?b.Suppose the town government imposes a $2 per hour tax on all gardeners. Indicate the effect of the tax on the market for gardeners. What is the effect on the equilibrium wage and the equilibrium number of gardeners hired?

Below tables shows the data on labor market of Drivers in Muscat city of Oman. Wage rate Monthly in OMR Quantity Demanded Quantity Supplied 200 4500 2000 250 4000 2700 300 3700 3100 350 3400 3400 400 3300 3800 500 3200 4100 a) Suppose that the minimum wage of drivers’ in the market is above the equilibrium wage. By using the demand and supply diagram of the drivers’ market, show the equilibrium wage, the number of employed workers, number of unemployed workers. Also show the total wage payments to drivers. b) Now suppose that the labor secretary is considering a raise in the minimum wage. Explain briefly what would be the effect on unemployment and employment? c) Let’s assume that the demand for drivers was inelastic, what would you propose to increase the minimum wage or lower total wage payments to drivers? Explain briefly why d) Suppose the labor secretary revise the minimum wage at 300 OMR, how do you see this decision?
