The number of employees hired with a minimum wage is<u> lower</u> than it would have been at equilibrium.

A minimum wage operates as a price floor which is established above the equilibrium in the labor market to ensure that salaries do not fall below a certain level. If the minimum wage was not fixed, market forces would tend towards the equilibrum.

As the graph shows, when a minimum price is set above the equilibrium this generates an excess supply situation. The supply of labor is constituted by people who are willing to sell their work abilities in exchange for different wage levels. Therefore, if there is an excess supply situation, there will be workers who would be willing to work for the minimum wage but labor demand is not large enough at that same level. Therefore, a minimum wage brings unemployment .

Sloan [31]

Answer:

there are several consequences of inequity and most times, the likelihood of occurence differs. a repercaution or  consequence is that Jack will try to increase his outcomes by meeting his senior heads or increase in his pay and an option also of  maximum use of company facilities and resources.

and also,  he can also limit/reduce his inputs by working fewer hours and with low impact in giving his  high performance.  peradventure if  these actions does not reduce his feelings of inequity drastically,  it will be advisable for Jack to seach/look for a purchasing management job in another firm orhave a second though about going into a better and higher-paying jobs still within his current organization. Jack's feelings of inequity can be limited/reduce if he can change his perceptions, but this is more difficult given the clarity of salary information. It is also unlikely that Jack would push Sam to work harder or try to reduce his salary and also for Jack to change his comparison other  can be difficult.
