Does the minimum wage reduce low wage employment?
Chandra J.
An article in the Wall Street Journal noted that a study by the U.S. Congressional Budget Office "estimated raising the minimum wage to $\$ 10.10$ an hour would reduce U.S. employment by 500,000 but lift 900,000 Americans out of poverty."
