Make or Break: The Economic Effects of the Minimum Wage

The current federal minimum wage of $7.25 has not changed since 2009. Today's minimum wage worker earns less in real dollars than they would have 50 years ago. While there's popular support for raising the minimum wage to address low pay and economic disparities most often realized by women and people of color, the effect is a matter of debate among economists.

Join UMass scholars and one of the foremost researchers on this topic, Professor Arindrajit Dube, for a discussion about the economic impact of minimum wage policies.
