- By law, the government splits the levy of the FICA tax equally between workers and firms.(a) Using a supply and demand diagram, draw the labor market and label the equilibriumwage and employment level assuming FICA did not exist. Then, on the same graph,draw how the imposition of FICA alters labor market outcomes. Make sure to carefullylabel equilibrium wages, wages paid, wages received, and employment.(b) If the government splits the levy of the FICA tax evenly between workers and firms, thenhow is it that some researchers claim that workers pay approximately 90% of payrolltaxes?(c) Assume that labor unions lobby the government to have the entire levy of FICA shifted tofirms.
