Frictional

is
due
to
the
time
workers

A

is

A
limited
amount
of

is
a
thing
because

Public

can
lead

Structural
unemployment
arises
when
there
are
more
people
jobs
in
a
labor
market
than
there
are
jobs
at
the
current
wage
rate
.
The
rate
is
the
price
of
labor
.
The

indicates
that
when
the

increases
,
employers
are
less
willing

The

curve
indicates
that
when
the
price

increases
,
more
workers
are

.
Several
factors
can
lead
to
a
wage
rate
in
of
the
equilibrium
wage
rate
such
as
the
minimum
wage
,
labor
unions
,
and
efficiency
wages
.
A
minimum
wage
is
a
government
-
mandated
on
the
price
of
labor
.
If
the
minimum
wage
is
higher
than
the
equilibrium
wage
rate
,
there
will
be
a
persistent
surplus
in
the
labor
market
,
leading
to
unemployment
.
By
bargaining
collectively
for
all
of
a
firm's
workers
,
can
often
win
higher
wages
from
employers
.
Labor
unions
push
the
wage
that
workers
receive
above
the
equilibrium
wage
rate
,
leading
to
unemployment
.
Firms
may
choose
to
pay
efficiency
wages
,
which
are
wages
set
above
the
equilibrium
wage
rate
as
an
for
their
workers
to
deliver
better
performance
.
The
use
of
efficiency
wages
by
firms
leads
to
unemployment
