Consider an economy in a stable state where the prevailing real wage is consistent with both firms' profit-maximizing price levels and the wage required to motivate employees, resulting in a stable level of employment. A new government policy is then implemented, causing an economy-wide increase in the wage that workers are willing to accept for any given level of employment.
