Growth in real income (earnings) Growth in output per worker-hour REAL WAGES AND PRODUCTIVITY Growth in real income (earnings) Growth in output per worker-hour Can only grow at about the same rate! Secular Growth of Real Wages

PURELY COMPETITIVE LABOR MARKET Many Firms Numerous Qualified Workers “Wage Taker” Behavior Market Demand for Labor Market Supply of Labor

LABOR SUPPLY AND DEMAND PURELY COMPETITIVE MARKET Quantity of Labor Wage Rate (dollars) Includes Normal Profit Non- Labor Costs S = MRC Wc $10 $10 $10 $10 $10 $10 Wc ($10) Labor Costs D = MRP ( mrp’s) d = mrp (1000) (5) Labor Market Individual Firm

LABOR SUPPLY AND DEMAND PURELY COMPETITIVE MARKET Marginal Resource Cost (MRC) will be constant and equal to resource price (the wage rate) S Quantity of Labor Wage Rate (dollars) Includes Normal Profit Non- Labor Costs S = MRC Wc $10 $10 $10 $10 $10 $10 Wc ($10) Labor Costs D = MRP ( mrp’s) d = mrp (1000) (5) Labor Market Individual Firm
