State whether each of the following events will result in a movement along the market supply curve of agricultural labor in the United States or whether it will cause the market supply curve of labor to shift. If the supply curve shifts, indicate whether it will shift to the left or to the right in the provided graph. A decline in the agricultural wage rate will result in a movement along the labor supply curve. An increase in wages outside of agriculture will result in a shift in labor supply curve. the Use the line drawing tool (for a shift in supply) or the arrow drawing tool (for a movement along the supply curve) to indicate the effect on the supply curve for labor as a result of as a result of an increase in wages outside of agriculture by drawing either a new labor supply curve or an arrow overlapping the original supply curve indicating the direction of the movement in Graph A. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. Graph A S₁ Quantity of labor

Suppose the supply curve of lab assistants is given by w = 8 + 6E, while the demand curve is given by w = 40 – 2E. (Assume is in 000s of persons and w is the annual salary in thousands of dollars). Calculate the equilibrium wage and employment level.
The war in Ukraine has driven many highly qualified IT specialists into neighboring Poland, where many chose to remain and start looking for jobs There are four graphs, depicting: (1) labor market for IT specialists in Poland, (2) the profit maximizing decision of a typical perfectly competitive Polish software firm, (3) market for Polish software products; (4) the Polish market for imported software products. Our goal is to analyze, using what you have learned, the effect of influx of foreign IT specialists on the three markets and on the typicalPolish software firm.. You have to address the questions in order, starting with the labor market for farm workers. In the labor market for IT specialists:: 1. Label clearly the supply and demand curves, S and D. 2. In the text, indicate clearly what side of the market is affected, supply or demand, by underlining or circling the relevant term. 3. Once you decided which side of the market is affected and how, show on the graph the new supply…
Explain and graphically illustrate what happens to the equilibrium wage (of nurses) and equilibrium quantity of labor (nurses) in California if the following two events occur: CA regulation reduces the number of patients per nurse from 5 to 3 AND CA hospitals offer more affordable childcare options for their employees (including nurses). Expert Answer.
A supply curve of work hours can be backward-bending beyond some wage rate. Examples of backward-bending labor supply curves exist in academics and professional athletics. Once university (or college) professors attain tenure, their productivity (in some cases) tends to decline. The diminished productivity appears to reflect fewer hours being devoted to research. Michael Jordan (who was making over $40 million per year in salary and endorsements) quit professional basketball in 1993 to spend more time with his family, play golf, and try out for a major league baseball team. Under what circumstances will a labor supply curve bend backwards? Show this result in a labor-leisure choice diagram. Is leisure normal, inferior, or neither when the labor supply curve bends backward as the wage rate rises? Please identify the income and substitution effects of a reduction in work hours at higher pay.
The following graph shows the labor market for research assistants in the fictional country of Universalia. The equilibrium wage is $10 per hour, and the equilibrium number of research assistants is 250. Suppose the government has decided to institute a $4-per-hour payroll tax on research assistants and is trying to determine whether the tax should be levied on the employer, the workers, or both (such that half the tax is collected from each side). Use the graph input tool to evaluate these three proposals. Entering a number into the Tax Levied on Employers field (initially set at zero dollars per hour) shifts the demand curve down by the amount you enter, and entering a number into the Tax Levied on Workers field (initially set at zero dollars per hour) shifts the supply curve up by the amount you enter. To determine the before-tax wage for each tax proposal, adjust the amount in the Wage field until the quantity of labor supplied equals the quantity of labor demanded. You will not be…
What happens to the supply curve for labor (shifts to the right/left or stays the same) in the following situations: a) On factory workers: Factory workers’ union negotiated a lower standard work rule, where their minimum number of shirts produced be 60 shirts per day instead 100 shirts per day. b) On airline pilots: After the deregulation of the airlines, nonunion airlines increased their market share by 30 percent. c) On medical doctors:The state of Maharlika began to allow nurses to assume more of physicians’ responsibilities. d) On Wakandan Uranium miners: China agreed to limit its exports of Uranium to Wakanda

Related to the theory of equilibrium in the labor market. Describe the impact of the following policies on equilibrium in the labor market in detail (Assumption: Labor supply is elastic): a. Payroll Tax imposed on companies.b. Imposition of Income Tax which is borne by employees.c. Income Subsidy Imposition (Payroll Subsidy)
ECON 122: Short Writing Assignment #3 Suppose there are two different labor markets, A and B, each with identical demand for labor curves. If the Supply curves are also identical, draw a graph of each labor market in the space below: Now, assume that Market A's working conditions - for some reason - become much harsher than that for Market B (perhaps they are more dangerous or unhealthy). Illustrate how this development would impact your graph(s) above. What impact would this have on the wages in Market A relative to Market B? How about on total employment in each market? Why?

Describe what happens to quantity of labor supplied when wages are at the equilibrium level, above equilibrium, and below equilibrium.
