New research from the University of California at San Diego looked at the impact of minimum wage hikes across the country beginning in 2009, after the official end of the last recession. The increases were the result of a boost in the federal minimum wage and states’ independent legislative action. The hikes significantly reduced the employment of low-skilled workers. The loss of work was far greater in those states which had the biggest increases in the mandated minimum wage.

so by that rational why not employ workers for 50 cents an hour? alot of people will be hired....

theres a limit to how high you want minimum wage. low wage workers spend all of the income they earn back into the economy which creates jobs. but raise it too much and u start to lose employment. if the minimum wage kept up with inflation it would be close to $11/hr adjust for 1968 minimum wage value.

but this thread is not about minimum wage. it is about the loss of good paying jobs in america and the downward pressure on wages which is associated with that
