In a labor market where wage rates are determined by supply and demand, which of the following labor market interventions would likely lead to an increase in equilibrium wage rates?

In a labor market, wage rates are influenced by the supply of workers and the demand for labor from employers. When demand for workers increases, perhaps due to a growing industry or more job openings, employers may compete for talent by raising wages. If the supply of workers decreases, for example, if many people leave the workforce or if there are fewer qualified candidates, this can also push wages up as employers struggle to fill positions. A concrete example is when a tech company expands and needs more engineers; if there are not enough engineers available, they may offer higher salaries to attract qualified applicants. Therefore, interventions that boost demand for workers or reduce the available supply can lead to higher equilibrium wage rates.
