Q:
Labor Market Research

In the first chapter of the text we discussed the 10 principles of economics. Two principles that help explain how wages are determined in a market economy are #1, People Face Tradeoffs, and #7, Governments Can Sometimes Improve Market Outcomes (Mankiw, 2004). Consider these principles when completing your assignment. Think of how they apply to the labor market for nurses.

· Research the labor market for any state to determine how nursing wages are calculated.
Use the Internet for this research.

· Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper in APA format, in which you:
o Cite the state and the URL of the Web site used in your research.
o Address which factors may influence the supply and demand for nurses.
o Discuss how a nurse’s pay is determined and how the salary is structured.
o Discuss what your chosen state can do to increase the supply of nurses.
o Include at least one appropriately cited and documented quotation to support a point.
o Include at least one appropriately cited and documented paraphrase to support a point.

· Post your paper as a Microsoft© Word attachment.

Other factors affecting supply is education level. If people have a qualification or diploma in the courses for nurses, supply would be higher.
Apart from these factors, interest of the general public, salary level, growth in the industry, market trends, opportunity cost are also major factors in determining the supply of nurses.
In order to increase the supply of nurses, government must conduct training programs and should increase the frequency of the licensing exam so that more and more nurses can enter the industry. A new three tier approach is being considered by the government for the many different grades of nurse. An attempt is made to retain existing nurses and encourage others to take up the career. This will permit the most senior staff to hold extra responsibility and be paid more. $18169 to $20784 is earned by the lowest grade of fully qualified nurses. $ 26854 is paid to the average nurses and $33631.5 to $38112 is paid to the senior staff that has extra responsibilities.

Preview: ... California should employ to increase the supply of nurses
The demand for nurses in California is fairly simple; as the population continues to rise, the demand for nurses escalates. Another factor concerning the demand for nurses is greater life expectancy for the population; this increases the demand for nurses because many elderly patients have chronic or acute health issues that necessitate a nurses care. The supply side is not as simple, in fact, some reports
based on analysis of previous shortages, indicate that the problem is one of distribution rather than supply. Factors contributing to California's nursing shortage include changes in the healthcare environment that resulted in downsizing of the nursing work force as a result of managed care, the aging nursing work force, and public policy regarding nursing education (Keating & Sechrist,2007, para. 3)

According to the Survey of Registered Nurses in California, 2006 published by the California Board of Registered Nursing between 1991 and 2004, the average age of Californias statewide population of working RNs rose from 42.9 to 47.6, and declined to 47.1 by ...

As the population increases, the demand for nurses has become higher as health care needs have increased. Some experts have argued that the cause of the nurse shortage is not the amount of available nurses, but the inadequate wages and highly undesirable working conditions that have deterred would-be nurses from training in the nursing field. These

individuals would rather invest in a different career then work as a nurse. Inadequate wages will undoubtedly produce an inadequate number of staff.
Another potential reason for the nurse shortage is the lack of capacity for nurse training programs. A major factor in ensuring an adequate supply of new nurses is the limited capacity of current educational programs. In 2001, 5,000 qualified applicants were rejected from baccalaureate programs because there were too few slots for them. 37 Nurse training programs face the same recruitment ...

It has been agreed, according to numerous reports, that equal pay may be the central idea to the development of nursing. The value of nursing in the United States reportedly ranks lower than the value of comparative professions in many countries. The value of any line of work is portrayed in its pay. A main concern would be the question regarding why the salary for nurses is not increasing due to the serious lack of registered nurses in most countries. Some new model ideas have made pay a more decentralized fashion and nurses are now able to independently negotiate pay. This model idea is beginning to generate good results, and is persistently being developed. In some parts of the world, like Iceland for example, this new system of wages has helped to raise the pay over fifty percent.
A report known as the ANA report helps to bring out the unequal rise in pay during a nurses working lifetime. Between graduates and a practicing nurse that has been doing i ...
