MY COMMENT on another blog to the question: “Who benefits from a higher minimum wage?” by age, gender, full-time, part-time, etc.
Who WOULD benefit from a higher minimum wage? Here in Chicago, perhaps the 100,000 out of, I would guesstimate 200,000 gang age males who have currently cast their lot with the Criips or the Bloods, etc,, because they wont go to work for $3.50 an hour less then the 1968 minimum wage, double the per capita income later. Ditto for Baltimore, etc. Here in Chicago most minimum wage jobs have been virtually off-shored to Mexico, India, etc.
