This unbiased look at the minimum wage debate in America traces the
history of minimum wage policy at both the federal and state
levels, discusses the controversies swirling around the issue, and
examines the veracity of claims made by people on both sides of the
debate. Minimum wage inspires debate among many Americans-from
advocates who consider it beneficial to the poor and middle class
to those who feel it leads to greater unemployment. This
comprehensive overview examines the history, policies, and key
players in the minimum wage arena and discusses the various
controversies that have surrounded it. Author Oren M. Levin-Waldman
presents a balanced approach to the topic, shedding light on
legitimate evidence from both sides of the argument and debunking
claims based on ideology, partisanship, and distortions of data.
The book presents an historical overview from the early 20th
century through the present day, exploring the various legal
issues, benefits, and potential problems of low-wage labor markets.

figures and organizations present a variety of different

academic involvement in marshaling effective solutions. The content

chronology, and a thorough glossary. Presents data not typically
