Assume that the supply of low-skilled workers is fairly elastic, but the employers’ demand for such workers is fairly inelastic. If the policy goal is to expand employment for low-skilled workers, is it better to focus on policy tools to shift the supply of unskilled labor or on tools to shift the demand for unskilled labor? What if the policy goal is to raise wages for this group? Explain answers to include supply and demand diagrams? Name some factors that can cause a shift in the demand curve in labor markets? In addition please address the policy goal of raising wages?
