Wage Curve

A wage curve is a curve that depicts the macroeconomic association between the levels of unemployment in an area with respect to the availability of the jobs in that area. In simple words, a worker who wants to work in a region where there is a high level of unemployment tends to get a lower salary as compared to his counterpart in a region where unemployment level is not that high.
The reason is simple as it is more difficult to find the suitable workforce in areas where most of the prospects are already employed, which calls for higher pay-rates
