Over time, the gap between the wages of workers with a college degree and the wages of workers without a college degree has been increasing. Shouldn't this gap have increased the incentive for workers to earn a college degree, thereby increasing the supply of college-educated workers and reducing the size of the gap?
This wage gap may have not been reduced because
A. the demand for college-educated workers has increased more slowly than the supply of college-educated workers.
B. a college education is only a signal of desirable worker characteristics and does not change wages.
C. the demand for workers without a college degree has been increasing due to globalization.
D. the supply for workers without a college degree has been decreasing due to immigration.
E. both a and b.

In California, a welfare recipient is eligible for welfare benefits of $645. Benefits are reduced by 50
cents for every dollar of earnings. Consider Elizabeth, a resident of California, who can earn $10 per
hour.
a. If she works 10 hours, how much are her earnings, how much is her welfare benefit, and how
much is her income?
b. After Elizabeth works a certain number of hours, she does not receive any benefit at all. What is
that number of hours?
c. Use your answer to parts a and b to plot her budget constraint.
d. Sketch a set of indifference curves consistent with Elizabeth's participating in the labor market
Why does a worker allocate his or her time over the life cycle so as to work more hours in those periods when the wage is highest? Why does the worker not experience an income effect during those periods?
