Find the equilibrium wage


Assignment task: Demand and supply curves can be represented with equations. Suppose that the demand for low-skilled labor QD, is represented by the following equation, where W is the wage rate and the constants are expressed in millions: QD = 56 -3W

The supply of low-skilled labor Qs is represented by the equation:

Qs = -10+8W
