Describe the factors that could cause an increase in the wage rate of workers
Anything that increases the demand or reduces the supply of labor will result in an increase in the wage for those workers employed. Increases in the demand for labor could be caused by an increase in the price of the product produced, and increase in technology or anything else that increases the productivity of workers. A decrease in the supply of labor could be accomplished by unionizing.
