Under what elasticity conditions would the following be true:
“Increasing the minimum wage will result in a decrease in employment for workers who now earn less than the new minimum wage”?
ANSWER:
This statement is an example of “Elasticity of Labor Demand”. Companies gain profit by paying more workers less than minimum wage. If the minimum wage increases, it now becomes too expensive to keep additional hands on the payroll, therefore resulting in a loss of employment. On the other hand, if there is only a slight increase in the rise of minimum wage (3% – 5%), the loss of employment rate should be much less (1% – 2%) making the labor demand inelastic. I think it all depends on the total amount of revenue the company is taking in.
