Wage (Thousands of workers)
$15.00
Suppose the federal government contemplates a new law that would create a national minimum wage of $15.00 per hour.
150
If the minimum wage is set at $15.00, the market will not reach equilibrium.
In this labor market, a minimum wage of $11.50 would be binding.
In the absence of price controls, a surplus puts downward pressure on wages until they fall to the equilibrium.
Binding minimum wages cause structural unemployment.
