Suppose that Palm Island, the world’s largest grower of coconuts, plans to build its first airport on 100 acres of productive farm land. Palm Islanders expected the world price of coconuts to rise by 200 percent next year and remain high for the next decade. Explain the influence of these events on Palm Island’s labor market and land market.
Compare the two labor market graphs below, representing the supply and demand of low-skilled labor, medium-skilled labor, and high-skilled labor respectively. The y-axis is the price of labor ($ per hour) and the X-axis is the number of jobs (in 100,000 jobs). How will the impact of this increase in the minimum wage affect each of these markets?

- Consider a competitive labor market. Using the model of how income is determined in a labor market, describe the effects on wages and number of individuals employed of an increase in the productivity of labor in that market. What will happen and why?
