The Effects of the Minimum Wage on Employment

By Marvin H. Kosters and Marvin H. Koster

This is a landmark and still-relevant showdown over one of America's most polarizing economic debates, where AEI economist Marvin Kosters gathers leading labor economists, including David Card, Alan Krueger, Finis Welch, and Kevin Murphy, to weigh the evidence on whether raising the minimum wage costs jobs, hurts teenagers and low-skilled workers, drives inflation, or truly lifts incomes, in the wake of the Clinton administration's push for an increase.
