Answer:

(a) Firms could possibly respond to unions demands for higher wages by hiring fewer workers.

(b) Firms could possibly respond to unions demands for higher wages by substituting capital for labor.

Explanation:

Unions are formed to work toward better working conditions and welfare of staff.

Workers act collectively to negotiate better terms of employment with the employers.

However when unions try to negotiate for increased pay the employer may take different actions that will bad for the employee.

The employer may decide to actually pay the higher wage but hire fewer workers. This is usually the case when higher wages for many employees will result in loss for the employer.

Secondly the employer may substitute capital for labour. For example investing more in use of machines and reducing labour.

From the employer's viewpoint this will result in lower labour cost due to higher wage payment

miss Akunina [59]
<span>Because customers often participate directly when it comes to the service process, the success of any technological innovation is highly dependent on customer acceptance. This means that if the customers don't like the product or something about it, a technological innovation will not find a place in the main stream and will be unable to succeed.</span>

Sectoral shifts, frictional unemployment, and job searches Suppose the world price of steel falls substantially. The demand for
TEA [102]

Answer:

fall

rise

frictional

b. Improving a widely used job-search website so that it matches workers to job vacancies more effectively

Explanation:

A fall in the price of steel would reduce the profitability of producing steel for steel producing companies. Hence, the supply of steel would fall. as a result, less labour would be needed, so the demand for labour would fall.

A fall in the price of steel would reduce the cost of producing cars and thus increase the production of cars. as a result, more labour would be employed to make cars.

Frictional unemployment is when labour is unemployed between the time he leaves his current employment and time he finds another. by improving on the job search website, workers would be matched faster with available jobs, this frictional unemployment would decrease.
