The United States passed a federal minimum wage law in 1938 and has increased the minimum wage and its coverage at irregular intervals ever since; in addition, as of the beginning of 2008, thirty-two states and the District of Columbia had established a minimum wage higher than the federal level, and numerous other local jurisdictions had in place "living wage" laws. Over the years, the minimum wage has been popular with the public, controversial in the political arena, and the subject of vigorous debate among economists over its costs and benefits. In this book, David Neumark and William Wascher offer a comprehensive overview of the evidence on the economic effects of minimum wages. Synthesizing nearly two decades of their own research and reviewing other research that touches on the same questions, Neumark and Wascher discuss the effects of minimum wages on employment and hours, the acquisition of skills, the wage and income distributions, longer-term labor market outcomes, prices, and the aggregate economy. Arguing that the usual focus on employment effects is too limiting, they present a broader, empirically based inquiry that will better inform policymakers about the costs and benefits of the minimum wage. Based on their comprehensive reading of the evidence, Neumark and Wascher argue that minimum wages do not achieve the main goals set forth by their supporters. They reduce employment opportunities for less-skilled workers and tend to reduce their earnings; they are not an effective means of reducing poverty; and they appear to have adverse longer-term effects on wages and earnings, in part by reducing the acquisition of human capital. The authors argue that policymakers should instead look for other tools to raise the wages of low-skill workers and to provide poor families with an acceptable standard of living. 606 $aMinimum wage$zUnited States 606 $aIncome distribution$zUnited States 606 $aLabor supply$zUnited States 606 $aMinimum wage 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMinimum wage 615 0$aIncome distribution 615 0$aLabor supply 615 0$aMinimum wage. 676 $a331.2/30973 700 $aNeumark$b David$0123948 701 $aWascher$b William L$0948891 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453895403321 996 $aMinimum wages$92144919 997 $aUNINA 999 $p$47.50$u12/06/2019$5Bus LEADER 02465nam 2200601 450 001 9910782993403321 005 20230617042715.0 010 $a1-282-01407-2 010 $a9786612014079 010 $a1-4411-6560-6 035 $a(CKB)1000000000722342 035 $a(EBL)436235 035 $a(OCoLC)318229536 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000158112 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12007651 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000158112 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10146198 035 $a(PQKB)11232284 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5309754 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL5309754 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11518720 035 $a(OCoLC)1027147565 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC436235 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL436235 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL201407 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000722342 100 $a20180315h20042003 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aFree radical $enew century essays /$fTony Benn 210 1$aNew York, New York ;$aLondon, [England] :$cContinuum,$d2004. 210 4$dİ2003 215 $a1 online resource (257 p.) 300 $aIncludes index. 311 $a0-8264-6596-X 311 $a0-8264-7400-4 327 $aContents; List of Abbreviations; Foreword; 1 Old Labour; 2 New Labour; 3 Rallies, Dissent and Democracy; 4 September 11 and its aftermath; 5 Foreign Affairs and Defence; 6 Trade Unions and Privatization; 7 Miscellany; Index 330 $aIn 2001, Tony Benn, one of the most influential socialist politicians in Europe, retired from the British House of Commons after almost 50 years in politics, to 'devote more time to politics'. One of the ways in which he carried out his resolution was to write a series of weekly columns for the Morning Star, a British socialist daily newspaper.These columns reflect the breadth of Benn's political concerns, covering both domestic and international politics, and the best of them have been collected here. Benn writes with a controlled passion about the Labour party (old and new), the threats to d 606 $aWorld politics$y1995-2005 607 $aGreat Britain$xPolitics and government$y1997-2007 615 0$aWorld politics 676 $a941.086 700 $aBenn$b Tony$f1925-2014,$0696399 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782993403321 996 $aFree radical$93703418 997 $aUNINA
