The state government is considering raising the minimum
wage from $15 per hour to $20 per hour over the next 3
years. As an economic advisor to the governor, you have been
asked to provide a recommendation on whether the minimum

Prepare a brief report that:
1. Explains whether the labor market is currently efficient at the
equilibrium wage of $15 per hour. How would you know? At
equilibrium, what (dollar amount) is the Total Surplus this market

minimum wage is raised…
