Consider the labor market for webpage designers illustrated in the graph to the right. What is the equilibrium wage? per hour. (Enter a numeric responses using an integer.) Suppose fewer firms demand webpages. Use the line drawing tool to draw either a new labor supply curve or a new labor demand curve that shows how this affects the labor market for webpage designers. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. As a result of this change, the equilibrium wage increases decreases Wage (dollars per hour) 300- 275- 250- 225- 200- 175- 150- 125- 100- 75- 50- 25- Market for webpage designers Labor supply₁ X Labor demand₁ 20 40 80 100 120 140 60 Quantity of labor Q Ly ✪

Think about the labor market for orthodontists in the United States. Suppose a union is organized, and it successfully increases job qualification standards, meaning orthodontists have to acquire additional skills to meet the new standard. Assume the value of the marginal product does not change. All else equal, which labor market curve is impacted by the organization of a union and what happens to orthodontists' wages : and employment? labor demand shifts left; wage decreases and employment decreases O labor demand shifts right; wage increases and employment increases O labor supply shifts left; wage decreases and employment increases O labor supply shifts right; wage increases and employment decreases O labor supply shifts left; wage increases and employment decreases
Bruno is a landowner and Angela is a farmer who pays a share of her grain output to Bruno for the use of the land, where Bruno makes a take-it-or-leave-it offer.

Bushels of grain 12- Angela's reservation indifference curve 6.5- 4.5 0+ 0 14 16 GT Angela's hours of free time 20 24 Feasible frontier: Angela and Bruno combined + N
Suppose the Occupational Safety and Health Administration were to mandate that all punch presses be fitted with a very expensive device to prevent injuries to workers.

It has been argued by some that immigration reduces job opportunities for native-born workers. Based on our understanding of labor markets, we would conclude that This statement is generally inconsistent with economic logic because wages do not differe from country to country and immigration is generally not economically logical. this statement is generally consistent with economic logic becuase there are only a fixed number of jobs available and immigrants are willing to work for lower pay than native born workers. This statement is generally inconsistent with economic logic since more supply can lower wages and induce additional labor demand. This statement is generally consistent with economic logic because when firms create new jobs they have a need for foreign workers with different edcuational skils than native born workers.
