Answer:

Farmworkers would be a good example. Some figures are necessary:

- The US Federal Poverty line is $12,140 for a single person and $16,460 for a two person household.

- Farmworkers make 7.95 per hour on average or 15,264 per year.

There is already quite an issue here since a two person household needs to have an income of $16,460, which is definitely not great since that means that single parents have to raise a kid on that income which is extremely hard if you consider the medical, clothing, education, entertainment, nutrition, transportation and other expenses a regular person needs, imagine adding a child to those expense on such a small salary. No wonder most low wage employees rely on federal public assistance to just be able to eat and get some very basic medical care. So farm workers really get paid very little for a very difficult job, most of the times by a multinational corporation that could definitely afford to pay them much more.

In light of this, it is no wonder most Americans prefer not to work on these jobs since they pay starvation wages. And this is where productivity, the law of supply and demand, and international competition and technology affect wages for this job. Since companies will always prefer employees that are more productive while at the same time they earn much less money and the law of supply and demand intervenes not only in terms of salaries (since when the supply of workers is greater than the available jobs can absorb, employers will be in a position of force to hire only those who accept the lowest salaries), but also in terms of the supply and demand for the crops they are selling, if the demand is higher than the amount of crops available, these will become more expensive and because of that employers will be forced to hire more employees to cope with the demand (and will have to pay them more as the need for more employees to harvest more will be greater), if on the other hand, demand is low, then the crops will cost very little and employers will not pay much for their cultivation since they will have more than enough employees to harvest the existing crops to meet the low demand. Illegal migrant farmworkers are indeed a form of international competition; they are tolerated and necessary for local employers because they are willing to accept the lowest salaries and no labor, medical, or any other kind of protection at all. Unions have known that for ages and they have always fought both to stop illegal immigration and to provide some legal footing to illegal farm workers since that will prevent employers from using them to pull salaries down (this is called social dumping). Another form of international competition is crops that are imported from countries with no environmental or labor protections were workers are paid even less than in the US and that make it possible for their employers to sell their produce even at lower prices than those produced locally in the US. Finally, as technology progresses, more and more tasks in agriculture become mechanized and automated, requiring even less workers and this forces those who are absolutely needing a job to accept the lowest wages.

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

E) marginal; marginal

Explanation:

The diamond-water paradox is also known as the "paradox of value".

                 In this paradox it is argued that water which is an essential thing for human survival and is so important to human, is offered no value in the market. Whereas diamond which is just a precious stone and is not an essential thing in human's life is valued so much and has great value in the market than water.

                 So the diamond-water paradox provides the solution that those things having high values in usage have low prices in the market because they are consumed at low marginal utility. And those things which have low value in usage sometimes have high prices in the market because they are consumed at high marginal utility.

Hence he answer is

E) marginal; marginal

marissa [1.9K]

The quote from the Gettysburg Address details how Lincoln used phrases in his speech to remind his listeners of the American ideals of liberty, equality, and the responsibility of government.

Lincoln also cites religion, "...under God..." to support the idea of freedom and liberty for all people. He also defends the idea of the people and government having the responsibility to ensure that the government is representative of the wants and needs of the citizens, "...government of the people, by the people..."
