he graphs below depict the initial market for labor (on the left) and the macroeconomic production function (on the right). You will use these graphs to identify the effect of an increase in the number of available workers on employment, Potential GDP, and per-worker productivity. Suppose that a substantial increase in labor force participation increases the supply of labor by 40,000 workers at every value of the real wage. (1) Identify the effect of this event on equilibrium employment in the market for labor, and identify the specific new equilibrium level of employment. (2) Identify the effect of this event on Potential GDP, and identify the specific new level of Potential GDP. (3) Finally, identify the effect of this event on per-worker productivity, and identify the specific new level of per-worker productivity. You should embe

You should embed a graph that clearly depicts (1) the correct supply shift in the market for labor, (2) the new equilibrium real wage, and (3) the new
