Workers
Overzicht
Why does a surgeon earn many times more than a cleaner, and why does a minimum wage law help some workers but risk leaving others without a job at all? The answers lie in the labour market, where the same forces of demand and supply that set the price of goods also set the price of work: the wage.
In this lesson you will explore the wage and non-wage factors that shape people's choice of job, what drives the demand for and supply of labour, how trade unions bargain for their members, and how a national minimum wage works. You will also draw and interpret labour-market diagrams that examiners ask for again and again.
