b. suppose that the condition in part a holds and wages adjust to equilibrate labor supply and labor demand. calculate the wage and employment in each sector.

c. suppose a union establishes itself in manufacturing and pushes manufacturing wage to 25. calculate employment in manufacturing.

d. in the aftermath of the unionization of manufacturing, all workers who cannot get the highly paid union jobs move to the service sector. calculate the wage and employment in services
