QUESTION 2
When wages increase from W1 to W2 firms would want to hire less, and the will be a decrease in
employment, this decrease is reflected bigger on the D2, which means D2 is more elastic to the
implemented minimum wage in the long run. D1 is inelastic to changes in wages in the short-run because
there wasn’t enough time to adjust abruptly to the implemented wages. Instead, there would be a
reduction in the number of working hours, days, give people a notice to find work and so on. 4/4 good!
