(6, Katrina Decreases Labor SupplyConsider the effects of a natural disaster like hurricane Katrina on a metropoli-tan economy. In the initial (prehurricane) equilibrium, total employment in themetropolitan area is 500,000 workers and the daily wage is $100. The priceelasticity of supply of labor is 4.0 and the price elasticity of demand for laboris -1.0. Suppose the hurricane reduces labor supply (a horizontal shift of thesupply curve) by 100,000 workers.a. Use a supply-demand graph of the urban labor market to show the effects ofthe hurricane.b. The equilibrium wage [increases, decreases] bypercent (to $.computed as....c. The equilibrium employment [increases, decreases] byworkers), computed as....(tod. The reduction in the equilibrium employment is [greater, less] than the initial decrease in labor supply because....percent
