From Forbes:
David Neumark [UCI] has an excellent little piece in The Wall Street Journal on the
unemployment effects of the minimum wage. … Neumark makes an entirely valid point
though: Some proponents defend a higher wage on other grounds, such as fairness, or
compensating for the low bargaining power of low-skill workers. But let’s not pretend
that a higher minimum wage doesn’t come with costs, and let’s not ignore that some
of the low-skill workers the policy is intended to help will bear some of these costs.
