For each of the proposals, use the previous graph to determine the new number of laboratory aides hired. Then compute the after-tax amount paid by employers (that is, the wage paid to workers plus any taxes collected from the employers) and the after-tax amount earned by laboratory aides (that is, the wage received by workers minus any taxes collected from the workers). Levied on Employers (Dollars per hour) 4 Tax Proposal 0 2 Levied on Workers (Dollars per hour) 0 4 2 Quantity Hired (Number of workers) 000 After-Tax Wage Paid by Employers (Dollars per hour) O The proposal in which the entire tax is collected from workers The proposal in which the tax is collected from each side evenly O The proposal in which the tax is collected from employers O None of the proposals is better than the others 000 After-Tax Wage Received by Workers (Dollars per hour) 000 Suppose the government is concerned that laboratory aides already make too little money and, therefore, wants to minimize the share of the tax paid by employees. Of the three tax proposals, which is best for accomplishing this goal?

Name some factors that can cause a shift in the demand curve in labor markets.

Why are the factors that shift the demand for a product different from the factors that shift the demand for labor? Why are the factors that shift the supply of a product different from those that shift the supply of labor?

Table 14.11 shows levels of employment (Labor), the marginal product at each of those levels, and a monopolys marginal revenue. What is the monopolys marginal revenue product at each level of employment? If the monopoly operates in a perfectly competitive labor market where the going market wage is 20, what is the films profit maximizing level of employment?
