An economy is experiencing a significant increase in its overall level of employment. Which of the following concurrent events would be classified as causing an upward shift of the wage-setting curve, as opposed to a movement along it?
Impact of Labor Market Legislation
All of the following events would cause an upward shift in the economy-wide wage-setting curve EXCEPT:
An economy simultaneously experiences the passage of new laws that make it more difficult for firms to dismiss workers and a separate, unrelated technological boom that leads to a significant decrease in the overall unemployment rate. How would these two events, respectively, influence the position of the economy-wide wage-setting curve?
A significant, economy-wide decrease in the unemployment rate will cause the wage-setting curve to shift upward.
