“…Competing groups on both sides of the issue make their respective cases by drawing on select information and data. Proponents view the policy as necessary on the grounds that it provides financial assistance for the working poor (Prasch, ; Seager, ), and that the benefits of wage increases are not restricted to only those making the current entry level wage. Rather, workers whose compensation is near the minimum may benefit from a “ripple effect” of wage increases (Card & Krueger, , p. 3).…”

Diğer taraftan asgari ücretlerin sadece ücret eşitsizliklerini azaltan değil, büyüme, istihdam ve verimlilik üzerinde olumlu etkilerinin olduğunu gösteren birçok çalışma da mevcuttur (Prasch, 1996;Irmen ve Wigger, 2002;Cahuc ve Michel, 1994;Ravn ve Sorensen, 1999;Kaufman 2010).
