From Southern California Public Radio:
A new report from the Congressional Budget Office says that increasing the national
minimum wage to $10.10 would cause the loss of 500,000 jobs but would raise earnings
for about 16.5 million low-wage workers. Does a higher minimum wage put an undue burden
on job creators and business owners? How might workers be impacted by higher wages?
How will consumers fare?…Guests: David Neumark, Chancellor's Professor of Economics
and Director, Center for Economics & Public Policy, Department of Economics, UC Irvine.
