Answer to Question 1

If the real wage is lower than the equilibrium real wage then the quality of labor demanded is greater than the quantity of labor supplied. In the auction for labor, the real wage being paid to labor will eventually be bid up, increasing quantity supplied and reducing quantity demanded until the market is in equilibrium.

Answer to Question 2

GDP ignores underground activities, household production, externalities such as pollution, and income distribution. Economists still use it because it is highly correlated with all other measures of the quality of life, and as such serves as a useful summary statistic.
