Question 5

Using a supply and demand diagram,show a labor market with a binding minimum wage.Use the diagram to show those who are helped by the minimum wage and those who are hurt by the minimum wage.

Accepted Answer

Those who are helped by the minimum wage are the workers who are still employed and now receive the higher wage. In the diagram, those would be measured by the quantity of labor demanded at the minimum wage, q0. The minimum wage creates unemployment equal to the difference between the quantity of labor supplied and the quantity demanded at the minimum wage, q2-q0. The perceptive student might note that the unemployed group can be divided into those who lose their jobs as a result of the minimum wage (the competitive equilibrium quantity of labor minus the quantity demanded at the minimum wage, q1-q0), and those who enter the market as a result of the higher wage but cannot find employment (quantity of labor supplied at the minimum wage minus the competitive equilibrium quantity, q2-q1). The buyers of the labor (employers) are also worse off because they have to pay a higher wage for labor and, hence, hire a smaller quantity
