Answer each of the following questions regarding the market for labor in the fast-food industry.
a. If wages in the retail industry increase (assume that the retail industry requires similar skills as the fast-food industry),
the point representing the equilibrium wage and quantity of workers will move down and to the left along the market
supply curve for labor.
the market supply curve for labor will shift to the right.
the market supply curve for labor will shift to the left.
the point representing the equilibrium wage and quantity of workers will move up and to the right along the market
supply curve for labor.
b. If new legislation limits the number of hours that workers under the age of 18 can work each week,
the market supply curve for labor will shift to the left.
the market supply curve for labor will shift to the right.
the point representing the equilibrium wage and quantity of workers will move up and to the right along the market

State whether each of the following events will result in a movement along the
market supply curve of agricultural labor in the United States or whether it will
cause the market supply curve of labor to shift. If the supply curve shifts, indicate
whether it will shift to the left or to the right in the provided graph.
A decline in the agricultural wage rate will result in a movement along the labor
supply curve.
An increase in wages outside of agriculture will result in a shift in
labor supply curve.

Use the line drawing tool (for a shift in supply) or the arrow drawing tool (for a
movement along the supply curve) to indicate the effect on the supply curve for
labor as a result of as a result of an increase in wages outside of agriculture by
drawing either a new labor supply curve or an arrow overlapping the original supply
curve indicating the direction of the movement in Graph A.

The graph below depicts equilibrium in the labor market for yoga instructors.
Yoga has become increasingly popular as an alternative, or even a complement, to other forms of exercise, such as working out in a gym or running. Suppose that medical research shows that practicing yoga three times a week greatly increases the cardiovascular health of senior citizens. This increases the demand for yoga classes and studios, which in turn leads to an increase in price for yoga. How will this impact the labor market for yoga instructors? Illustrate on the graph below by shifting a curve or curves.

- Assume that the information technology and consulting industries employ people with similar skills. Suppose a decrease in the demand for consultants leads to a fall in their wages, while the demand for computer analysts remains the same. The following graph shows the labor market for computer analysts in the United States. Show the effect of the fall in demand for consultants on the U.S. labor market for computer analysts by shifting the labor demand curve, the labor supply curve, or both. WAGE LABOR Supply Demand Demand Supply ?arrow_forwardThe following graph shows the labour market for steelworkers. Assume that all firms in the steel industry must hire union workers. The union representing the steelworkers successfully lobbies the government to impose trade restrictions on imports of steel from foreign competitors, causing the demand for domestically produced steel to increase. Shift one or both of the curves on the following graph to illustrate the impact of the union's actions. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.
