Description

The authors present a powerful new challenge to the conventional view that higher minimum wages reduce jobs for low-wage workers. A distinctive feature of their research is the use of empirical methods borrowed from the natural sciences, including comparisons between the "treatment" and "control" groups formed when minimum wage rises for some workers but not for others. Line drawings.
