Wages and Hours Laws: What Do We Know? What Can Be Done?
Brown, Charles C.; Hamermesh, Daniel S. - 2019
We summarize recent research on the wage and employment effects of minimum wage laws in the U.S. and infer from non-U.S. studies of hours laws the likely effects of unchanging U.S. hours laws. Minimum wages in the U.S. have increasingly become a province of state governments, with the effective...
