7) Explain what will happen to the demand for labor,
the equilibrium wage, and the equilibrium quantity of
labor if a technological innovation makes workers more
productive.
Demand for labor, equilibrium wage, equilibrium
quantity will all increase.
8) Name two factors that will increase the demand for
labor, and two factors that will increase the supply of
labor.
Demand: technological innovation, increase in output
price
Supply: increase in labor force participation rate,
reduction in wealth
