The unemployment rate is the percentage of workers who are seeking a job at the prevailing wage, but who are unable to get one. When a minimum wage is imposed, it creates some unemployment among minimum wage workers.
Suppose that the demand for labor is given by Q = 51 - 1W, where 'W' is the hourly wage rate, and the supply of labor is given by Q = 3W - 9. Imagine that a minimum wage of $20.13/hour is imposed by law.
What will be the unemployment rate for workers in this market?
Put your answer in percentage form (e.g. 0.7648 should be entered as 76.48), and then round your answer to two decimal places. Do not include a % sign.
*Note that when the minimum wage is in effect, the number of workers who are seeking a job is found by simply plugging in $20.13 for W in supply, and the number of workers who will actually have a job is found by plugging the same $20.13 in for W in demand.
