Delaware’s Minimum Wage Controversy

June 30th, 2008 · No Comments

A current bill in the Delaware government, SB 204, would increase the state’s minimum wage.  However, the proposal is facing a lot of controversy.  The Employment Policies Institute states the attempt to help low income workers through wage increases is misguided and actually hurts the people it seeks to help.

Economic research displays that wage increases actually decrease employment levels, particularly for the least skilled workers.  Economists at the University of California at Irvine declare that for every 10% increase in minimum wage, employment for high school drop-outs and young black teenagers and adults falls by 8.5%.
