A state funded report in Florida brings media attention to the wage gap between landscapers and childcare workers. Whereas childcare workers are largely female, landscapers are largely male. The state passes comparable worth legislation to bring this wage discrepancy into balance. The graph represents the market for childcare workers. Adjust the wage line to illustrate the impact an hourly wage requirement of $11.00/hour has on this market. Hourly wage ($) 54 32 no 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 6 LO 5 4 3 21 2 O 0 50 supply wage demand 100 150 200 250 300 350 400 450 500 Workers What impact did this legislation have on the level of employment of childcare workers? Employment decreases by 100, and the size of the surplus equals 250 childcare workers. Employment increases by 150, and the size of the surplus equals 250 childcare workers. O Employment decreases by 150, and the size of the shortage equals 250 childcare workers. O Employment increases by 100, and the size of the shortage equals 250…

John works for a government agency in California making $70,000 per year. He is being transferred to a branch office in Tennessee. The salary reduction associated with transfer is 11%. The Cost of Living Index (similar to consumer price index or equipment price index) in California is 132 whereas the Cost of Living Index in Tennessee is 95. a. How much extra income does John made as a result of the reduced Cost of Living? b. What is the adjusted salary of John based on the Cost of Living?

A company operates in a competitive market, selling each unit of output for a price of $20 and paying the market wage of $270 per day for each worker it hires. In the following table, complete the column for the value of the marginal product of labor (VMPL) at each quantity of workers. Marginal Product of Value of the Marginal Product Labor Labor Output (Units of output) of Labor (Number of workers) (Units of output) (Dollars) 20 1 20 19 2 39 18 3 57 15 72 12 5 84 On the following graph, use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot the firm's labor demand curve. Then, use the orange line (square symbols) to show the wage rate. (Note: If you cannot place the wage rate at the level you want, move the two end points individually.) Hint: Remember to plot each point halfway between the two integers. For example, when the number of workers increases from 0 to 1, the value of the marginal product for the first worker should be plotted with a horizontal coordinate of 0.5, the value halfway…

Paragraph Font Consider an individual who initially works T-L. hours per week, where (T-L)>0. They earn an hourly wage (W) and no non-labour income. a) Draw a graph that reflects this individual's income-leisure constraint, utility-maximizing indifference curve (U.) and choice of leisure hours (L.). b) The government then implements a wage subsidy program in which worker wages are increased by 10%. This wage subsidy program has no limits, so there is no phase-in/out. This wage subsidy produces both an income effect and a substitution effect on the worker's choice of leisure hours. Assume that the substītution effect is stronger than the income effect. On the same graph as part a, draw this individual's new income-leisure constraint, utility- maximizing indifference curve (U.) and choice of leisure hours (L). [Note: When incorporating the 10% wage subsidy into the graph in part b, I am not expecting perfect precision. Just try your best to draw the new income-leisure constraint as…
