- Research by David Neumark, economics Chancellor's Professor and Center for Economics & Public Policy director, is featured in the Gaston Gazette January 8, 2014
From the Gaston Gazette:
There’s little debate among academic economists about the effect of minimum wages.
University of California, Irvine economist David Neumark has examined more than 100
major academic studies on the minimum wage. He reports that 85 percent of the studies
“find a negative employment effect on low-skilled workers.” A 1976 American Economic
Association survey found that 90 percent of its members agreed that increasing the
minimum wage raises unemployment among young and unskilled workers.
