A theatre schedules all its cleaning between midnight and 5 am. Daytime cleaning jobs nearby require the same skills and offer the same hourly wage. Why might the theatre receive fewer applications?
Fewer applications show that the theatre's demand for cleaning labour has fallen
Fewer people are willing to offer labour during unsociable hours at that wage
Night cleaning needs more qualifications, so fewer people can offer labour for it
Night work lowers cleaners' productivity, so fewer people are able to offer labour
