Explanation / Answer

82.) e)

A wage differential refers to hourly wage rates and annual salaries differing among occupations. the difference can be due to the risk involved in a job, discrimination on basis of gender and race, the difference in the human capital and the mobility of workers.

The birth rate does not affect the wages

83.) d)

the demand for labor depends on the demand for labor-intensive products and is generally derived from it.

84) c)

a high wage elasticity means that the labor supply is greatly influenced by the change in the wage rate. this can only happen when the supply of substitutes of labor is less.

85) c)

an increase in marginal productivity of workers means that the same amount of labor will give the firm greater revenue hence shifting the MRP curve to the right.
