Background and Context: The diagram should visually represent a labor market with two industries: wheat growing and textile. The model assumes that labor is used in both industries, but wheat growing uses land as a specific factor, while textile uses capital as a specific factor. Immigration primarily affects the wheat growing sector by increasing the labor supply in that industry. This leads to a shift in the labor supply curve for wheat growing. Axes: The x-axis should represent Labor. The y-axis should represent Wages. Curves: The initial labor supply curve for the wheat growing industry should be a blue curve labeled "LsW (Wheat Growing)". This curve should be downward sloping, showing a negative relationship between the amount of labor and wages. The initial labor supply curve for the textile industry should be a green curve labeled "LsT (Textile)". It should also be downward sloping but distinct from the wheat curve in shape and position. After immigration, the labor supply curve for wheat growing should shift to the right, indicating an increase in labor supply. This new curve should be represented as a dotted blue curve labeled "LsW After Immigration". Equilibrium Points and Wage Changes: Before immigration, the equilibrium wage in the wheat growing industry should be indicated by a horizontal black dotted line at the initial wage level, labeled "W1" on the y-axis. This line should intersect with the initial labor supply curve for wheat growing (LsW). After immigration, the new equilibrium wage should be lower, represented by another horizontal black dotted line at the new wage level, labeled "W2" on the y-axis. This line should intersect with the shifted labor supply curve (LsW After Immigration). Additional Details: Both industries should be represented on the same diagram with labor as the common input. The shift in the wheat growing labor supply curve should clearly show the effects of immigration (increased labor supply leading to reduced wages for native workers). Use solid lines for the initial labor supply curves and dotted lines for any changes resulting from immigration. Graphical Style: Use a plain white background for clarity. Make sure the diagram has clear labels for the axes, curves, and equilibrium points. The changes in the equilibrium wage and labor supply should be visually distinct with different line styles and colors for easy interpretation.Tags
