Suppose labor demand for low-skilled workers in the United States is w = 35 – 0.2Ewhere E is the number of workers (in millions) and w is the hourly wage. There are 100 million domestic U.S. low-skilled workers who supply labor inelastically. If the U.S. opened its borders to immigration, 25 million low-skill immigrants would enter the U.S. and supply labor inelastically. What is the market-clearing wage if immigration is not allowed? What is the market-clearing wage with open borders?

Explain why it is important to differentiate between the "number of unskilled workers" and the "number of unskilled labor hours" when evaluating the impact on the market for unskilled labor of an increase in minimum wage.
Ross Eisenbrey and Lawrence Mishel in " Uber business model does not justify a new 'independent worker' category" argue all but one of the following. Which one? O t is clearly possible for Uber work hours to be measurable for the establishment of a minimum wage. In fact, since mid-2014, Uber has had a "guaranteed pay" system that functions like a minimum wage and that demonstrates the company's ability to apply the FLSA in its work relationship with drivers. Both Lyft and Uber track their drivers' work hours and readily identify drivers' hours in many public statements. O f an Uber or Lyft driver turns off her app, her personal time is nonetheless compensable under the independent worker proposal of Harris and Krueger. It would not be under current law. O Uber drivers cannot keep their app on and monitoring potential riders and refuse to accept rides without incurring serious consequences, including being deactivated (i.e., fired) for having too low an "acceptance rate."
