Answer:

$8

Step-by-step explanation:

In labor economics, the reservation wage is the lowest wage at which a worker would be willing to accept a job.

The problem says that you need at least $8 / hr.

So that's your reservation wage.

It's nothing to do with the state, it's not the minimum wage either. It's just the least you're willing to accept, which for this problem, is $8/hr
