The U.S. research literature on the employment effects of minimum wages is often described as contradictory and conclusive. In this lecture, Prof. Neumark will present new evidence from a survey and empirical analysis that shows that indeed most work finds that higher minimum wages reduce employment of low-skilled workers, and that some important evidence suggesting the opposite is flawed and reaches the wrong conclusion.
