In the most basic terms, and assuming the market in question is free from non-market influences, there are two reactions to a change in the supply of any commodity. First, the market for that commodity can shrink along with the supply. Second, the market price of the commodity can rise, thereby decreasing demand while simultaneously encouraging an increase in supply.
An excellent example of these forces at work is the corn market. In recent years, the demand for corn has increased dramatically (although most of the change was due to government intervention in the market). Over a period of two growing seasons, the price of feed corn nearly doubled as potential buyers competed for the limited supply, and production increased as a direct response to this rise in price, as farmers made the choice to place more acreage in corn and less in other crops, such as soybeans and wheat. These changes had ripple effects in other markets too; prices of soybeans and wheat also rose as the supply fell due to the farmers' choices, thereby encouraging farmers to increase the supply of those commodities.
In the end, demand, supply and price tend to stabilize as producers and buyers reach a balance wherein the producers are willing to meet demand for a given price.

What is highly elastic supply?
Highly elastic supply refers to a situation where the quantity supplied of a good or service responds significantly to changes in its price. When the price increases, producers can quickly increase production, and conversely, a price decrease leads to a sharp reduction in supply. This characteristic is often seen in markets where producers can easily adjust their output, such as in industries with low production costs or where resources can be readily reallocated. As a result, even small price fluctuations can lead to large changes in the quantity supplied.

Which sentence describes how the labor market is like other markets?
The labor market, like other markets, operates on the principles of supply and demand, where employers seek to hire workers (demand) and individuals offer their skills and labor (supply). Prices, represented by wages, adjust based on the availability of workers and the need for labor in various sectors. Additionally, competition among job seekers and employers influences hiring practices and wage levels, similar to how competition affects pricing and availability in goods and services markets.
