Does it make sense that the definition of macroeconomic equilibrium allows the existence of involuntary unemployment? Would you not expect that, in such a case, wages would fall, which would lead to an increase in the demand for labor and hence the elimination of the involuntary unemployment?

- While economists measure unemployment at the macroeconomic level, microeconomic forces are often responsible for this macro aggregate. In other words, the tie between microeconomics and macroeconomics is inevitable when discussing the level of unemployment in an economy. Suppose the following graph represents the market for unskilled labor in a fictional economy. These workers typically represent the young, inexperienced, or uneducated part of the labor force and are therefore most effected by changes in the unemployment rate. Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions.

- Consider the following dialog between Amy, an economics student who currently studies macroeconomics, and Deborah, her teaching assistant.AMY: Hi Deborah, I'm working on my Aplia homework and realized that I do not understand the definition of the labor force very well. Does it include discouraged workers? DEBORAH: Hi Amy, the conventional definition of the labor force excludes discouraged workers. This is because they gave up looking for jobs . Also, be sure not to mistake discouraged workers for part-time workers. The key difference is that the latter cannot find suitable full-time jobs . AMY: I think I understand it now, thank you. DEBORAH: Let me ask you a question to see if you can apply your knowledge. Consider an economy with 20 full-time workers, 16 part-time workers, 10 workers who have been laid off but are actively looking for a new job, and 3 formerly full-time workers who have been without a job for over a year, failed to find any, and gave up looking.

He attributes this to the substantial growth in population during this period. Although rice cultivation in Mikatra is still labor-intensive, Mark observes that the inflation-adjusted wages for farm workers in the rice industry have more or less remained constant during this period, even though the supply of rice increased. This was contrary to Mark's expectations as inflation in Mikatra during this period was not very high. Which of the following, if true, is most likely to explain this outcome? A.Rice and other cereals form a smaller proportion of the food budget of higher-income individuals. B.The government of another major rice-producing country, Langun, subsidizes its rice farmers to keep its prices competitive in the global market. C.The government of Mikatra has recently set a price floor in the wheat market.
