Minimum Wage and Employment in a Monopsony
What is the effect of an effective binding minimum wage on employment in a monopsonistic labor market?

B
Employment levels would invariably fall because all price floors create surpluses that reduce demand for labor.
C
Employment levels could rise if the minimum wage is set between the current monopsonistic wage and the competitive equilibrium wage.
D
Employment levels cannot be determined without knowledge about price elasticity of demand for products produced by workers.
