psychic costs of Rose s move. = 2. Suppose that the demand for rough labor- ers is LD 100 - 10W, where W = the wage in dollars per hour and L= the num- ber of workers. If immigration increases the number of rough laborers hired from 50 to 60, by how much will the short- run profits of employers in this market change?
