Consider the labor market defined by the supply and demand curves plotted on the following graph. Use the calculator to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to the calculator. Complete the following tabie with the quantity of labor supplied and demanded if the wage is set at $\$12.50$. Then indicate whether this wage wilf result in a shortage or a surplus. Hint: Be sure to pay attention to the units used on the graph and in the table. For example, type in 100 for 100,000 workers. Suppose the federal government contemplates a new law that would create a national minimum wage of $\$12.50$ per hour. Which of the following statements are true? Check all that apply. In the absence of price controls, a surplus puts downward pressure on wages until they fall to the equilibrium. Binding minimum wages cause structural unemployment. If the minimum wage is set at $\$12.50$, the market will not reach equilibrium. In this labor market, a minimum wage of $\$9.50$ would be binding.
