From the Mackinac Center:
University of California, Irvine professor David Neumark is one of the foremost experts
in this area and has written, “Despite a few exceptions that are tirelessly (and selectively)
cited by advocates of a higher minimum wage, the bulk of the evidence – from scores
of studies, using data mainly from the U.S. but also from many other countries – clearly
shows that minimum wages reduce employment of young, low-skilled people.”
