Question
Consider two states that adopt different laws concerning labor unions.
The following graph shows the labor market in a state in the North. Initially, the market-clearing wage there is $8.00 per hour.
Suppose that the legislature in this northern state passes laws that make it easy for workers to join a union. Through collective bargaining, the union negotiates a wage of $10.00 per hour.
At the union wage, how many union workers will be employed?
