The graph shows the aggregate demand for labor in a small country with a civilian population of 100,000 persons. The labor force participation rate in this country is only 30% and it does not depend on the level of real wage. Wages and prices are fully flexible downwards and upwards. Start from the base case. Suppose that due to changes in social norms, the participation rate of women in the labor force increases. As a result, the overall labor force participation rate increases to 50.00% Ceteris paribus, this event causes the equilibrium real wage to change to units.

Why is there unemployment in a labor market with flexible wages?
If you an? out of school but working part time, are you considered employed or unemployed in U.S. labor statistics? If you are a full time student and working 12 hours a week at the college cafeteria are you considered employed or not in the labor force? If you are a senior citizen who is collecting social security and a pension and working as a greater at Wal-Mart are you considered employed or not in the labor force?
While unemployment is highly negatively correlated with the level of economic activity, in the real world it responds with a lag. In other wands, firms do not immediately lay off workers in response to a sales decline. They wait a while before responding. Similarly, firms do not immediately hire workers when sales pick up. What do you think accounts for the lag in response time?

A company operates in a competitive market, selling each unit of output for a price of $20 and paying the market wage of $270 per day for each worker it hires. In the following table, complete the column for the value of the marginal product of labor (VMPL) at each quantity of workers. Marginal Product of Value of the Marginal Product Labor Labor Output (Units of output) of Labor (Number of workers) (Units of output) (Dollars) 20 1 20 19 2 39 18 3 57 15 72 12 5 84 On the following graph, use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot the firm's labor demand curve. Then, use the orange line (square symbols) to show the wage rate. (Note: If you cannot place the wage rate at the level you want, move the two end points individually.) Hint: Remember to plot each point halfway between the two integers. For example, when the number of workers increases from 0 to 1, the value of the marginal product for the first worker should be plotted with a horizontal coordinate of 0.5, the value halfway…
