From Economics 21:
University of California, Irvine professors David Neumark and J.M. Ian Salas and
Federal Reserve Board of Governors economist William Wascher show that raising the
minimum wage will result in fewer jobs for teens and low-skill workers. Their recent
working paper, Revisiting the Minimum Wage-Employment Debate: Throwing Out the Baby
with the Bathwater, was released by the National Bureau of Economic Research this
year.
