Speaking of facts, when are you planning on presenting some in your baseless rhetoric? Your post is truthy, not truthful.

No one is trying to legislate that their first job is appropriate. A minimum wage job rarely is. No. I found a couple meta-analyses of minimum wage studies that revealed significant publication selection bias in previous work analyzing the effect of minimum wage on employment. Further, the data did not support conclusions of minimum wage increases having a negative effect on employment. That's consistent with the Doucouliagos & Stanley meta-analysis that I previously quoted, as well as work by Dube & Reich and Card & Krueger. What is wrong with reducing unemployment?

It would be great if labor was sold in a fair, open market that allowed buyers and sellers to easily identify one another and negotiate from equal positions of power. That's not the world we live in though. Buyers of labor have a huge advantage in the market. Sometimes people have to take the jobs they can find while they look for something more appropriate. The minimum wage offers a minimal amount of protection to workers in such situations. Subsequently, I did more research, and found that the studies concluding that raising minimum wage had a negative effect on employment were subject to significant publication selection bias. In the minimum wage literature, the magnitude of the publication selection bias is as large or larger, on average, than the underlying reported estimate. Overall, correcting for publication bias would transform a modestly negative average elasticity to a small positive employment elasticity.So, apparently we understand the effects better than I thought. That those effects don't align with your pet political theories isn't my concern. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

We need a new voting system, such as instant runoff voting or ranked voting.

There are safeguards, albeit imperfect ones, in place to protect society from both groups. One of the safeguards that protects workers from the subset of companies who want to pay their employees next to nothing is the minimum wage. It makes good sense to adjust it for inflation.

Alternately, we could do a meta-analysis of previous research. Perhaps there is reason to question the credibility of studies concluding that increasing minimum wage decreases employment. This paper re-evaluates the empirical evidence of a minimum-wage effect on employment. Several meta-regression tests corroborate Card and Krueger’s overall finding of an insignificant employment effect (both practically and statistically) from minimum-wage raises. Recently developed tests for publication selection bias confirm its presence in this area of labour research. The research on minimum-wage effects contains the clear trace of selection for adverse employment effects. No evidence of a genuine adverse employment effect can be found among time series estimates of minimum-wage elasticities used by Card and Krueger, but they contain a clear indication of publication selection. Recall that quasi-experimental evidence corroborates minimum wage’s insignificant employment effect (Card and Krueger, 1995b). Our analysis confirms that there never was much accumulated empirical evidence of a negative employment effect from minimum-wage regulation (Leonard, 2000). In any case, there seems to be a consensus among labour economists that if there is an adverse employment effect, it is a small one (The Economist, 2001). Our meta-analysis of 1,474 estimated minimum-wage elasticities only confirms this view and Card and Krueger’s (1995a) results. We still find strong evidence of publication selection for significantly negative employment elasiticites, but no evidence of a meaningful adverse employment effect when selection effects are filtered from the research record. Even after accounting for structural change in this area of research, very strong evidence of publication selection for negative employment elasticities remains. See also. Math tutoring available.

We certainly can't logically conclude that an increase in the minimum wage increases unemployment. At best we can say that more research is needed. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

In short, the academic research suggests that even during hard economic times, raising the minimum wage doesn’t reduce employment. Why is this the case? Studies generally find that policies that increase the compensation of low-wage workers significantly reduce turnover, boost worker effort, encourage employers to invest in training for their workers, and can increase demand for goods and services—all of which help balance out any potential negative effects.
