Answer to Question 1

Collective bargaining refers to contract negotiations between an employer and a labor union representing workers. One of the objectives of collective bargaining is to bargain for better wages for workers. As a result, collective bargaining fixes the wage rate above the market clearing level. Once the wages are fixed at a higher level, wage rigidity prevents it from falling. At this higher level of wage, quantity supplied of labor exceeds the quantity demanded of labor and this causes unemployment.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
