The Minimum Wage is a Middle-Class Issue

Oren Levin-Waldman and Charles Whalen

Challenge, 2007, vol. 50, issue 3, 59-71

Abstract: If raising the minimum wage affected only 2.5 percent of the labor market, as many argue it does, than it would not be such an explosive political issue. In truth, it affects wages well up the income ladder. The authors show why. They argue that a higher minimum wage is an essential part of any American wage policy
