The figure on the right depicts the labor market in equilibrium with employment at 100 million jobs. (Enter your response as an integer.) Suppose traditional monetary and fiscal policy has had only limited success in promoting higher employment. Governments sometimes seek to directly stimulate hiring by the private sector by engineering a shift in the labor demand curve. In the graph of the market, suppose the government seeks to directly stimulate the employment of an additional 20 million workers. 1.) Using the line drawing tool, shift the demand curve such that this employment target is achieved. Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required object. According to your graph, the targeted increase in employment can be achieved with the payment of a subsidy to employers of $ per worker. (Enter your response as an integer.)

What happens to a supply curve when price changes but structural variables remain fixed? Provide an economic interpretation of this case.
Suppose the world price of cotton falls substantially. The demand for labor among cotton-producing firms in Texas will . The demand for labor among textile-producing firms in South Carolina, for which cotton is an input, will . The temporary unemployment resulting from such sectoral shifts in the economy is best described as unemployment.
Consider an imaginary price index, the Undergraduate Price Index (UPI), created to represent the annual purchases made by a typical undergradute. The following table contains information on the market basket for the UPI and the price of each good in 2020, 2021, and 2022. The cost of each good in the basket as well as the basket’s total cost are given for 2020. Perform these same calculations for 2021 and 2022, and enter the results in the following table.

Consider a simple demand-and-supply model of a competitive labour market in a small town. The demand and supply curves for labour are given by Demand: w= 22 - 3LD Supply: w=4+3LS where w is the wage ($ per hour) and L is the number of hours of employment (measured in thousands of hours per month). a. Use the line drawing tool to plot the demand and supply curves in the graph at the right. Use points with labour hours value of 0 and 5 to draw the lines. Label the lines properly. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects.

C: French 35 hour working week 6. In 1999, the French minimum wage was around 50 francs. Describe the (francs / hours of leisure) trade-off for a French minimum wage worker algebraically and graphically, showing the connection between the two. (Note: Assume there are 170 hours in a week.)
