Hiding link between wages, job loss
Hiding link between wages, job loss

- A report by David Neumark, economics Chancellor's Professor and Center for Economics & Public Policy director, and J.M. Ian Salas, economics graduate student, is featured in the Orange County Register January 13, 2013
From the OC Register:
Legislators concerned about foisting new costs on the state's hard-hit employers
have been directed to a comforting pair of studies originally released by a labor-aligned
research outfit at UC Berkeley. These studies claim - contrary to decades of economic
research - that higher minimum wages do not reduce employment for less-skilled employees.
The Berkeley studies, however, are wrong. According to a new report from minimum-wage
expert David Neumark at UC Irvine (co-authored with UCI Ph.D. student J.M. Ian Salas),
the Berkeley studies irresponsibly used a flawed research design and produced flawed
conclusions.
