(5) Steven has non-labor income each week of $500. He can work up to 100 hours per week foran hourly wage of $10 per hour.

a) Based on economic surplus, explain who gains and who loses in the case of the minimum wage and whether the overall impact for society is positive or negative.
The market for low-skilled workers is highly competitive, due to the high numbers of low skilled individuals. If the labor supply is given by the equation QS = 10W and measured per hour, and the demand for labor is given by the equation QD = 240 − 20W. Where Q measures the quantity of labor hired (in thousands of hours). Answer the following: (d) After the implementation of the $9 minimum wage, in terms of surplus how much better off are low-skilled workers and how much worse off are employers? (e) If the minimum wage is set at $11 rather than $9 how does the deadweight loss and surplus change?
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.
