Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Mark the minimum wage W1W_1 and quantity supplied Q1Q_1.

    Draw a horizontal line above the equilibrium wage W0W_0 and label it W1W_1. This line represents the minimum wage. From the point where the W1W_1 line intersects the supply curve (S), draw a vertical dashed line down to the quantity axis. Label this point on the quantity axis as Q1Q_1. This indicates the quantity of labor supplied at the minimum wage W1W_1.

  2. Mark the quantity demanded QDQ_D and the excess supply of labor.

    From the point where the W1W_1 line intersects the demand curve (DDD^D), draw a vertical dashed line down to the quantity axis. Label this point on the quantity axis as QDQ_D. This indicates the quantity of labor demanded at the minimum wage W1W_1. The horizontal distance between QDQ_D and Q1Q_1 on the quantity axis represents the excess supply of labor. This segment should be clearly marked on the graph, for example, by shading the area between QDQ_D and Q1Q_1 along the W1W_1 line, or by drawing an arrow between QDQ_D and Q1Q_1 and labeling it "Excess Supply of Labour" or "Unemployment".

  3. State the effect of the excess supply of labor.

    The effect of the excess supply of labor is an increase in unemployment. At the minimum wage W1W_1, more people are willing to work (Q1Q_1) than firms are willing to hire (QDQ_D), leading to a surplus of labor.

    The effect of the excess supply of labor is:

    • Unemployment
