7/1/2017

This article discusses a new study that questions the effectiveness of a $15 minimum wage in helping workers. The study, conducted by a team of researchers, suggests that raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour may lead to a decrease in employment opportunities for low-skilled workers. It presents arguments and evidence from both supporters and critics of a higher minimum wage, highlighting the potential trade-offs and unintended consequences. The article ultimately emphasizes the complexity of the issue and the need for further research to fully understand the impact of a $15 minimum wage on workers and the economy.
