Question

Suppose the skills needed to perform the work in the two industries are identical, and the supply of labor to the two industries is fixed at 6,000 workers per day. What will be the equilibrium wage, and how many workers will work in each industry?

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the equilibrium wages and the number of workers in each industry is as follows:

Since the supply of labor is 6,000

As per the attached graph, the common rate is $8 per hour so if we take 2000 workers in industry A and 4000 workers in industry b  

So, the equilibrium wage would be $8

Hence, the same would be considered and relevant too
