When there is no excess in demand for workers and in supply of workers
(By Solomon Zelman)
The equilibrium wage falls and the equilibrium quantity of labor rises
In economics, the equilibrium wage is the wage rate that produces neither an access supply of workers nor an excess demand for workers and labor ...en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equilibrium_wage
When the wage rate paid to labour is below equilibrium wage, then labour is undersupplied. As firms require more labour to maximise their profit, they will slowly raise their wage rate (because revenue from labour > costs) until the equilibrium level is achieved (since no more profit is achieveable at this level).

The equilibrium wage is determined by the intersection of the supply and demand curves in the labor market. It is calculated where the quantity of labor supplied equals the quantity of labor demanded. Mathematically, this can be expressed as setting the supply function ( S(w) ) equal to the demand function ( D(w) ), where ( w ) represents the wage. This equilibrium wage reflects the market-clearing level where there are no surpluses or shortages of labor.
Firms employ fewer workers than they would at the equilibrium wage.
