Explanation
When wages are maintained above the equilibrium level, more workers are willing to work than there are jobs available, causing unemployment. Contrary to this, if wages were below equilibrium, shortages or strikes might occur. Therefore, an above-equilibrium wage leads to excess labour supply and unemployment.
