Economics Suppose that Congress passes a law requiring employers to provide employees some benefit (such as healthcare) that raises the cost of an employee by $3 per hour. Assume that firms were not providing such benefits prior to the legislation. On the following graph, use the green line (triangle symbel) to show the effect this employer mandate has on the demand for labor. Demand Supply 20 18 New Demand 10 14 12 New Supply 10 Equilibrium Before Law Equilibrium After Law 0 1 2 5 10 Quantity of Labor (Thousands) Suppose employees place a value on this benefit exactly equal to its cost. On the preceding graph, use the purple line (diamond symbol) to show the effect this employer mandate has on the supply of labor. Suppose the wage is free to balance supply and demand. Use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the eauilibrium wage and level of employment before this law, and use the grey point (star symbol) to indicate the equilibrium wage and level of employment after this law is…
