Increasing Minimum Wage Does Not Increase Unemployment [PDF]

jonathan-cunningham:

This was a 16 year study on a county-by-county basis. Rather than an increase in unemployment (as so many big business advocates and libertarians would have you believe), it did nothing to unemployment, but rather decreased employee turn over. The poorest people in those counties were better paid, had a higher standard of living and kept their jobs longer- all because the minimum wage was increased.
