6. Suppose most consumers consider wine a substitute for beer. Suppose a mold attacks California wine grapes causing about half the crop to be lost. At the same time, suppose social perceptions change such that working in a brewery becomes a less desirable job (the Laverne and Shirley effect) than before (a brewery is a beer manufacturing operation). We would expect:
- a decrease in the number of brewery workers and a decrease in brewery worker's wages.
- an increase in the number of brewery workers and an indeterminate change in worker's wages.
- an decrease in the number of brewery workers and an indeterminate change in worker's wages.
- an indeterminate change in the number of brewery workers and an increase in worker's wages.
- an indeterminate change in the number of brewery workers and a decrease in worker's wages.
