Answer to Question 1

The nominal wage rate is the wage rate measured in current dollars and the real wage rate is the wage rate measured in constant dollars. More generally, the nominal wage rate is the number of dollars received for an hour's work and the real wage rate is the number of goods and services that can be purchased with an hour's work. The nominal wage rate increases faster than the real wage rate when prices are increasing, that is, when inflation occurs.
