From GazetteXtra:
Higher minimum wages generate a tradeoff between higher wages for the employed and
higher rates of unemployment. When minimum wages increase, many workers who earn less
than the new higher minimum wage lose their jobs. Companies often decide they can
get by with fewer workers instead of paying higher wages. As one might expect, David
Neumark of the University of California’s Irvine campus and William Wascher of the
Federal Reserve Board survey recent research on minimum wages and find that the least-skilled
workers are hurt the most by minimum wages.
