Question

Millions of people from Mexico have migrated to the United States. This has reduced the supply of labor in Mexico and increased the supply of labor in the United States. Assume that the demand for labor in Mexico and the United States is unchanged. Then wages in the United States​ ________ and wages in Mexico​ ________.

Answer 1

Wages in US would decrease

Wages in Mexico would increase

Step-by-step explanation:

The increase in the supply of labour in the US while demand remains unchanged would lead to an excess of supply over demand. This would cause equilibrium wage to fall and quantity to rise.

While in the US, the supply of labour would fall. This would increase wage.
