Aanalyze what happens when a higher minimum wage is enacted (raising a price floor on the price of labor). Will the number of workers hired change? Why? What might be an unintended consequence of a higher minimum wage law designed to help low-income workers?

Next, analyze what happens when the price of rent is regulated so that prices are kept artificially low (a price ceiling). What will happen to the availability of apartments? Why? What might be an unintended consequence of a rent control wage law designed to help low-income renters?
