The Persistence of Involuntary Unemployment in Equilibrium
A central question arising from the WS-PS model is why some level of involuntary unemployment must always exist at the equilibrium point. This implies that even in a stable economic state, there will be individuals actively seeking work at the going wage who cannot find employment. Understanding the reasons for this persistence is key to grasping the model's implications for the labor market.

Credibility of a Low-Wage Offer at Equilibrium
Consider an economy in a stable state where firms have set their wages at a level that maximizes their profits, given the prices they charge and the effort levels of their employees. If a single firm decides to unilaterally reduce the wages it pays its workers, what is the most likely immediate outcome for that specific firm, assuming all other economic conditions remain constant?
