Respuesta :

In a competitive labor market, when the government increases the minimum wage, the result is an increase in the quantity of labor supplied and a decrease in the quantity of labor demanded. More people want to work when there is an increase in what they will be paid for their work. As more jobs are filled and less vacant ones are available the quantity of labor demanded goes down because these people are filling the jobs.
