<span>45 workers are unemployed. This follows logically from the fact that the 45 people mentioned are 'potential' workers. If they were employed, they would not be workers and not potential workers. This is because in the English language, saying that something is 'potentially' something implies that it is not that thing, but could be.</span>

The correct answer is: 27.

In this labor market the equilibrium price is $12, but price floor or minimum wage has been established at $18.

<em>A</em> price floor is defined as the minimum price allowed for a good, which is established by an economic authority and which distorts the market when it is located above the equilibrium price, creating a situation of excess supply. The most famous price floor is the minimum wage in the labor market.

<u>Therefore, in the labor market analyzed there is a situation of excess supply</u>. There are 45 potential workers who are offering their services in the labor market but, at the predefined price level ($18), only 18 workers are demanded, and hence, only 18 people are able to find a job.

<u>The number of unemployed people in this economy is: 45 - 18 = 27. </u>

zzz [600]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The causes of the sources of discord in early New England were basically the Kings Philip War and the Halfway Covenant. Both were the most threatening for the New England colony could have been handled better.

The Halfway Covenant was the solution implemented by the Puritans in New England in 1657 to baptize children to be members of the church and could have political rights. This decision created controversy and some colonists opposed it. They thought it was not the correct way to convert people to be part of the Church. The Covenant was discarded at the beginning of the great awakening.

The other major problem was the Kings Philip War, also known as the First Indian War, that started in 1675 and ended in 1678. The Native American Indian tribes of New England fought for their lands and privileges while English colonists and some Indian allies tried to settle in different territories to work the land. The war ended when both parts signed the Casco Bay Treaty that formally ended the hostilities in April 1678.
