Want to hear something obvious? Raising the minimum wage increases the take-home pay for low-income workers without hurting job growth. That’s not just a sound bite from Sen. Bernie Sanders – it’s now a proven economic fact. A study released this month from the Center on Wage and Employment Dynamics at UC Berkeley shows that minimum wage increases are working as policy-makers intended: they increase pay for workers at the bottom and do not jeopardize job growth. “For example, higher wages reduce employee turnover, thereby cutting employers’ recruitment and retention costs and increasing workers’ tenure and experience,” the report states. “Positive employment effects can also arise when higher minimum wages draw working age adults into the labor force or induce them to increase their hours.” The study looked at food sector workers in six cities that have raised their minimum wages above $10 an hour in recent years – Chicago, District of Columbia, Oakland, San Francisco, San Jose, and Seattle. The study, the first of its kind to look at impacts across several cities, used modern statistical methods and data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and compared the results with 173 metro counties across the country that did not increase their minimum wages. The study knocks down several mistruths that opponents often tell about raising the minimum wage, making it clear that this common sense policy to Letters to the Editor raise the floor on our economy leads to workers with bigger paychecks and allows for continued job growth across the economy. The Berkeley study also backs up what Vermont Businesses for Social Re- Dear Editor, sponsibility members have been saying for years: taking care of your em- ployees is also good business.
