Suppose the local government passes a bill requiring all employers in this industry to provide bottled water to each worker to protect them from hot weather. This has been estimated to cost employers $ 1.7 per worker per hour. This way, workers do not need to purchase water by themselves, so that the bill effectively increases the wage by $ 1.7 per hour.
