The table above shows some pieces of information about the labor market condition in a country. It shows the number of workers demanded in the country at different levels of real wage. It also shows the labor force participation rates at those real wage levels. For example, if the real wage is 60, only 30% of the civilian population will participate in the labor force. If the real wage is 170, some 85% will participate in the labor force. The general price level in this country is P = 100. The civilian population in this country is 100 million persons.

In the United States childcare services are very expensive: about $10,000 to $15,000 per child per year, depending on the state.
