Why Raising the Minimum Wage Will Increase Inflation and Hurt the Economy. It goes to show that even the president of the United States doesnât understand why Americaâs economy is structurally flawed these days, despite the recovery.
The authors find that the sharpest wage increases due to raising the minimum wage occur for workers at the bottom five percent of the wage scale, where U.S. minimum-wage workers are most likely to be concentrated. A ten percent increase in the minimum wage raises that 5th percentile wage by about 2.9 percent. The study also finds evidence of ripple effects as the minimum wage increases wages for workers who make more than the minimumâand that these ripple effects dissipate the further one moves up the wage ladder.
