To the contrary, a rise in demand for Santas with stable supply brings more potential shoppers to the mall, increasing Santa’s labor productivity. In equilibrium, Santa’s wage would increase as his labor productivity rises. A higher average wage for Santas would attract less sketchy applicants, decreasing overall sketchiness.
