So you're saying the minimum wage laws are leading to more jobs? (If everyone works less, then more people must presumably be hired.)
- sobhaobnONJ 7y agoThe people being hired are not the ones having their hours scaled back. If demand for labor rises at a natural average over time in an area then minimum wage could reduce scheduled hours while overall growth still creates job demand. It'd be more interesting to see the effects of minimum wage increases on the average yearly income for employees in the area for that reason.
