Question: Can someone please explain how to solve the question? Thank you
In a small rural Pennsylvania town, the aggregate labor supply curve is given by LS=-50+20w and the aggregate labor demand by LD=125-5w, where w is the hourly wage rate
Part A
Calculate the equilibrium level of employment
Calculate the equilibrium wage
What is the size of the labor force in equilibrium
What is the unemployment rate of equilibrium
Part B
Following a national story about the local town, migration to the area leads to an increase in the labor supply curve. the new aggregate labor supply curve us LS=20w
Calculate the new equilibrium wage
