Elasticity of labour supply measures the extent to which labour supply responds to a change in the wage rate in a given time period In the short run the supply curve for labour to a particular occupation tends to be relatively inelastic It takes time for people to respond to changes in relative This is intuitive because the elasticity of labor demand tells us how sensitive firms’ hiring decisions are to changes in the wage An elastic demand for labor means that firms will respond to a small change in the wage by laying off a large number of workers so the employment effect will be large

Review Notes The Demand for Labor Elasticities • Wage elasticity of the demand for labor = ηw What is the impact of the minimum wage on labor markets • Recall that if the market is competitive then the wage increases employment falls and unemployment is created • The availability of substitutes also influences how elastic or inelastic a product is because the more substitutes that exist for a product the greater its elasticity With the passage of time products tend to become more elastic because consumers have the opportunity to adjust their spending patterns

If the Elasticity is greater than one economists call that elastic If the elasticity is less than one economists call that inelastic If the elasticity is equal to one economists call that unitary or unit elastic This is true of all elasticiti The Four Elasticities we have discussed are 1 Wage Elasticity of Labor labor is unitary elastic and would be made better offby increases in the minimum wage rate as long as the aggregate demand for labor is inelastic Accordingly there is a close connection between the desirability of raising the minimum wage rate in order to improve
