Is it wise for a firm to employ a worker at $20 per hour when another worker does the same job for $10 per hour? It would be a rational decision if the first worker was more than twice as productive as the second worker. It would never be rational to pay a worker that much more than another. It is illegal to pay a worker that much more than another. The government will pay firms to give some workers extra pay to increase the total economy.
The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "The government will pay firms to give some workers extra pay to increase the total economy." Is it wise for a firm to employ a worker at $20 per hour when another worker does the same job for $10 per hour?
