本文提供的证据表明，劳动力市场可以根据最低工资的增加，包括工资，工作时间，就业，并最终劳动收入，调整一系列广泛的利润沿着。毫不奇怪，有证据表明，低工资工人受到的影响最大，而高工资工人几乎没有受到影响。最初收入接近最低工资的工人经历了工资增长。然而，他们的工作时间和就业减少，这些变化对收入的综合影响表明，对低工资工人的净影响是不利的。
This paper provides evidence on a wide set of margins along which labor markets can adjust in response to increases in the minimum wage, including wages, hours, employment, and ultimately labor income. Not surprisingly, the evidence indicates that low-wage workers are most strongly affected, while higher-wage workers are little affected. Workers who initially earn near the minimum wage experience wage gains. Nevertheless, their hours and employment decline, and the combined effect of these changes on earned income suggests adverse consequences, on net, for low-wage workers.
