From Marketplace:
David Neumark is an economist at the University of California, Irvine. "There are
very few cases that I’m aware of in modern history of either living wages or minimum
wages being repealed," Neumark says. "My guess is these companies will be able to
pay slightly lower wages. They’ll probably have somewhat more employees – somewhat
more jobs, at somewhat lower wages."
