Minimum wages reduce employment In other work (Neumark and Wascher 2007a), we review the entire recent body of literature on the employment effects of minimum wages, encompassing more than one hundred papers written since the early 1990s…In our lengthier review of employment effects, we conclude that, overall, about two-thirds of the hundred or so studies that we discuss yield relatively consistent (although by no means statistically significant) evidence of negative employment effects of minimum wages – while only eight give a relatively consistent indication of positive employment effects. In contrast, of the thirty-three studies we identify as providing the most reliable evidence, more than 80 percent point to negative employment effects. (p.38-39) 2. Minimum wage hikes reduce the earnings of low-paid workers …the evidence suggests that higher minimum wages tend, on average, to reduce the economic well-being of affected workers. Evidence regarding the effects on workers initially paid at or just above the minimum suggests that their labor income declines as a result of minimum wage increases, reflecting negative effects of minimum wages on employment and hours. (p.139) 3. Minimum wage hikes make some low paid workers better off at the expense of others In our view, the combined evidence is best summarized as indicating that an increase in the minimum wage largely results in a redistribution of income among low-income families, with some gaining and others losing as a result of diminished employment opportunities or reduced hours, and some likelihood that, on net, poor or low-income families are made worse off. (p.189) 4. Minimum wage hikes make young workers less skilled, lowering their future earnings With respect to schooling, the evidence is stronger, with most of the research for the United States pointing to negative effects…recent research that studies the question more indirectly finds that teens and youths exposed to higher minimum wages have lower wages and earnings when they are in their late twenties, consistent with reduced skill acquisition… (p. 223) 5. Minimum wage hikes make products and services more expensive ...the limited empirical evidence consistently indicates that increases in the minimum wage lead to increases in prices of goods and services produced with low-skilled labor…(p. 247-248" Get access to all my weekly content, episodes, live events, and business-related updates http://tiny.cc/3p9mcz Follow me on Minds https://www.minds.com/ameerrosic/ Listen on Itunes http://tiny.cc/fwtvcz Sticher http://tiny.cc/so9mcz Google Podcast http://tiny.cc/dekncz Spotify http://tiny.cc/fxtvcz Playlists Psychology https://youtu.be/pq02IiFHqU0 Psychedelics https://youtu.be/4CSKSV95mU4 Daily Tech News https://youtu.be/Lw4rMoQFK14 Podcast Clips https://youtu.be/274bd2aw_mI Life Lessons https://youtu.be/kk4abdKm29M Startup Lessons https://youtu.be/HxoX_ZSKOWY First Principles Thinking https://youtu.be/EwmZd19BmRE #1 wallet I use.
