... Production costs (cont.) Formally, this can be expressed as follows: MC = dTVC/dQ = w*dL/dQ = w*(1/MP) where MP is the marginal product of labor input Short-run cost function tells what is the minimum cost necessary to produce a particular level of output Average total cost (AC) is the averag ...

Middle-class squeeze
The middle-class squeeze is the situation where increases in wages fail to keep up with inflation for middle-income earners, while at the same time, the phenomenon fails to have a similar impact on the top wage earners. Persons belonging to the middle class find that inflation in consumer goods and the housing market prevent them from maintaining a middle-class lifestyle, making downward mobility a threat to aspirations of upward mobility. In the United States for example, middle-class income is declining while many goods and services are increasing in price, such as education, housing, child care and healthcare.
