Although minimum wage rates are directly or almost directly beneficial to low-wage rate earning employees and their dependents, the minimum rate’s also net beneficial to our nation’s aggregate wage-earning families and our economic and social wellbeing.

You are wrong. It does not benefit people, when it causes them to lose their jobs.

Again, how do you explain Greece then? They had a minimum wage indexed to inflation, and the result was an economic crash, with higher and higher unemployment.

In fact, unemployment did not even start to decline in Greece, until the government not only repealed the automatic increases indexed to inflation, but they actually cut the minimum wage.

Look at Germany. Germany was the leading economy of Europe for decades. They never had a minimum wage until 2015.

How did that work, if you need a minimum wage for the the well being of their citizens? Why was Germany without a minimum wage for 50 plus years, the leading economy in all of Europe, over other countries that had minimum wages?

The Impact of The New German Minimum Wage

The introduction of a minimum wage in Germany has been found to reduce employment and hours worked, making it ineffective in reducing poverty.

www.cato.org

A new paper by IZA Institute of Labor Economics provides a clear literature review on the effects so far.

• Unsurprisingly, hourly wages have increased at the bottom of the income distribution, though there is little evidence of a ripple effect further up.
• Most studies find a small but negative effect on overall employment (up to 260,000 fewer jobs), driven by reduced hiring (not layoffs) and a reduction of casual and atypical employment.
• All studies that assessed it find a negative effect on contractual hours.
• As a result, although hourly wages increased, the reduction in hours meant gross monthly earnings does not appear to have increased much for low‐paid employees.
• Since gross monthly earnings have not substantially increased, and those earning minimum wage are often not from the poorest households, the policy hasn’t seemingly reduced the risk of being in poverty.

Every single research paper that comprehensively studies the effects of the minimum wage, finds almost no benefit, and clear negative effects.

There is no counter example.

You can keep repeating your false claims, and I'll keep repeating the hard facts. Facts trumps your opinion.

You are respectfully wrong, Supposn.

 

[Supposn]

if minimum wage goes up those who receive it pay more tax and those unemployed by it ,because they are not worth the minimum wage, require more welfare and policing. Thus there is no net benefit.

EdwardBaiamonte, you’re correct to assume minimum wage rate’s are less enforceable and sustainable without the existing unemployment insurance. When fully considering all U.S. governments’ public assistance and unemployment insurance expenditures, the federal minimum wage rate continues to positively contribute to USA’s net economic and social wellbeing.

Andylusion, I spent some time reading and considering the CBO reports, before responding to mentions of their reports.
We can question methods of collecting, selecting and how they interrelate facts and statistics the of the published reports, without questioning the sincerity of those doing the reporting.
[CBO’s motives are generally considered as non-partisan while many other organizations motives are considered by many to be more partisan; (for examples, the Economic Policy Institute, CATO, and the Heritage Foundation are among those organizations accused by too many knowledgeable people as having their own political agendas].

There may be substantial similarities between USA’s and Germany’s handling of minimum wage rates, and the organizations your link refer to may all be nonpartisan, I’m not that familiar with Germany; I’m not as aware or confident in the nonpartisanship of organizations other than the CBO, which have published reports regarding the federal minimum wage rate.

I’ll try to continue responding to posts referring to CBO reports regarding the federal minimum wage rate. Respectfully, Supposn

ToddsterPatriot, I did not state eliminating the minimum wage rate would increase the number of people not employed.

I did state that it would increase low-wage rate jobs, which consequentially is an increase of employed low-wage rate workers (who will all be earning wages of drastically poor purchasing power). It would not reduce but possibly increase the rate of unemployment among USA’s low-wage rate workers, and eliminating the minimum rate would be of net detriment to USA’s economic and social wellbeing.

I did state to the extent of its purchasing power, the federal minimum wage rate reduces the incidences and extent of poverty among USA’s working-poor.

... I believe my arguments and evidence I posted in this thread certainly satisfy civil courts’ standard of a “preponderance of truth”, if not beyond a reasonable doubt. There little within discussions of economic and political matters that are ever proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

It’s my opinion that I have, and it’s your opinion that I have not “made my case”. …

Respectfully Supposn

I did not state eliminating the minimum wage rate would increase the number of people not employed.

Thank goodness.

I did state that it would increase low-wage rate jobs, which consequentially is an increase of employed low-wage rate workers

Yes, you stated one of the benefits, thanks.

It would not reduce but possibly increase the rate of unemployment among USA’s low-wage rate workers,

More total employed is a good thing. Why is the rate a problem?

and eliminating the minimum rate would be of net detriment to USA’s economic and social wellbeing.

More employment is not a net detriment.

I did state to the extent of its purchasing power, the federal minimum wage rate reduces the incidences and extent of poverty among USA’s working-poor.

Remind me, is this another of your claims that you can't prove?

I believe my arguments and evidence I posted in this thread certainly satisfy civil courts’ standard of a “preponderance of truth”

Yes, your lack of proof and self-contradiction are compelling.

my life’s experiences and observation regarding this matter has led to my confidence that figure would be one of less than $3.50 per hour, ...

Why? Fast food restaurants in my area were having a hard time filling positions while offering starting salaries nearly 40% over the minimum wage. Why would they decide to cut their offered wage to $3.50 or less?
Do you not understand supply and demand? The demand for $3.50 workers may be very high, but the supply isn't.

ToddsterPatriot, there are now, (when the federal minimum wage rate’s $725 per hour), many people who are willing to accept $4 or $3 or less per hour, but it’s illegal to pay less than the applicably legal rate; the applicably legally enforced minimum rate’s effectively all markets’ minimum rates in the USA.

If fast food restaurants cannot fill positions, there’s a scarcity of applicants that are acceptable to employers and willing to work for the wage rates being offered.

In most, if not all USA labor markets, fast food restaurants can attract applicants willing to accept the minimum rate, but the employers do not find such applicants to be acceptable. There are kids in Brooklyn, that would accept living in tents within the Hamptons, if Long Island Hampton employers were willing to pay the market prices needed to lure acceptable laborers from Brooklyn.
Respectfully, Supposn

many people who are willing to accept $4 or $3 or less per hour,

How many? Why do you suppose that is?

Anyone who only needs the income available on a part-time basis; something convenient and close to home is usually better. But, how would that person be better off Having to work for less than purchasing power parity regardless of the rate of inflation? In other words and in a different example depending on the accounting method, part-time employment could be considered a percentage of otherwise full time employment considered customary and usual for any given market segment; the equivalent to three or four dollars an hour if that individual were otherwise employed on a full time basis for that actual dollar amount.

Unemployment compensation for simply being unemployed could mean no need for statutory minimum wage laws since the potential labor market participant would not be required to work in an at-will employment State. No minimum wage could mean a few hours of simple tasks for the hourly amount. If someone only needs to work a few hours for extra-money they may be in a better position to negotiate other intangibles such as convenient hours, any potential fringe benefits that may be available, etc.

But, how would that person be better off Having to work for less than purchasing power parity regardless of the rate of inflation?

Working for some wages earns you more money than not working for no wages.

Unemployment compensation for.....

Sitting on your ass and never working......not gonna happen.

You need more than appeals to ignorance of the laws and appeals to emotion to convince me.

Working for some wages is not any better than working for some profit for any Good capitalist, only for any already Rich capitalist.

20% of small businesses fail in their first year, 30% of small business fail in their second year, and 50% of small businesses fail after five years in business.

Unemployment compensation as a public policy and social safety net functions as automatic stabilizer for our economy. Ensuring more full employment of capital resources engendering more participation in our market based economy is self-evident proof for a positive multiplier and an Institutional basis for wages outpacing inflation.

And, there is no unemployment under truer forms of Capitalism, only underpayment. Market based arbitrage is a function of a market based economy.

 

[danielpalos]

We should be raising the minimum wage to generate more tax revenue anyway.

if minimum wage goes up those who receive it pay more tax and those unemployed by it ,because they are not worth the minimum wage, require more welfare and policing. Thus there is no net benefit.

A cost of living increase; and, it is a self-evident truth as to why wages need to outpace inflation, Regardless. Unemployment compensation could be improved to even solve simple poverty and act as an automatic stabilizer for our economy.

Raising the minimum wage could raise several times more tax revenue than our current minimum wage does now.

The current minimum wage at 7.25 per hour raises around 194 dollars in federal income tax revenue.

A 15 dollar an hour minimum wage raises around 1,852 dollars in federal income tax revenue. Nearly ten times more revenue than our current minimum wage at 7.25 does now.

Increasing purchasing power for Labor is a simple cost of living adjustment for wages not keeping up with inflation.

How is it a de-stabilizer? You need to explain that line of reasoning to convince me. An automatic stabilizer, is automatic, regardless.

That is not how economics works. A positive multiplier means a "boom phase" of Capitalism.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

How is it a de-stabilizer?

How is paying unemployment to someone who never worked......a stabilizer?

Economic stabilizer, any of the institutions and practices in an economy that serve to reduce fluctuations in the business cycle through offsetting effects on the amounts of income available for spending (disposable income). The most important automatic stabilizers include unemployment compensation and other transfer payment programs, farm price supports, and family and corporate savings.
