Answer: Firms will hire less labor

Step-by-step explanation: The demand curve for labor is downward sloping showing an inverse relationship between real wage (w/p) and quantity of labor demanded. Thus, when real wage rises, demand for labor falls. This means that at high real wages the firm will hire less labor.
