The price floor is $18. A price floor is when the government sets a minimum price for a given good or service, in this case for labor. A price floor is always set above equilibrium which is why the price floor intersect both curves (labor supply and demand) at different points. However, setting a price floor for labor causes unemployment. This is represented by the difference between the labor supply and demand at the price floor.
