An economic analysis reveals that the real wage required to secure an adequate labor supply is indexed at 106, while the real wage consistent with firms' profit targets is indexed at 100. A student calculates the percentage difference between these two wage levels as 5.66%, using the wage required by labor as the base for the percentage calculation. This calculation correctly represents the gap from the perspective of standard macroeconomic models.
