From The Fiscal Times:
Alan Krueger, chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, led a groundbreaking
study while at Princeton University that found in 1992 that a minimum wage bump did
not hurt employment at New Jersey fast food restaurants. Those findings have been
disputed by economists such as Gary Becker at the University of Chicago and David
Neumark at the University of California-Irvine, who both claim that the traditional
Econ 101 perspective articulated by Boehner still holds.
