A clear majority of academic studies prepared over the past two decades find negative job effects associated with minimum wage increases, particularly for young, less experienced, and less-skilled employees….See, for example, Minimum Wages, by David Neumark, University of California, Irvine…The authors reviewed and evaluated research conducted over the prior two decades on minimum wage effects, and concluded that “...
