What are the effects of raising minimum wages? 

While some advocate the minimum wage as an effective tool to combat poverty, others have argued that it could destroy jobs and increase prices. Who’s right? In this episode of our podcast series dedicated to the new editions of the Handbook of Labor Economics, Professor Arindrajit Dube tackles the contentious issue of raising the minimum wage. 

Arindrajit Dube is the Provost Professor of Economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), and a Research Fellow at the Institue of Labor Economics (IZA). After receiving his Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Chicago, he has held positions of Visiting Professor at MIT and Boston University's Questrom School of Business. 
Professor Dube is considered a world-leading expert on the economic effects of minimum wage policies. His current areas of research include wage inequality, the importance of labor market competition, the effects of minimum wages on employment and inequality, the role of fairness concerns at the workplace and the role of firm wage policies in explaining the growth in inequality.

Prof. Dube addresses the topic of minimum wages my summarizing what economists have learned about the impacts of minimum wages in the labor market over the last 25 years. He explains how higher minimum wages do not necessarily lead to job losses, but they could instead help firms reduce turnover and retain workers, as well as increase family incomes and reduce reliance on social assistance.

How Voluntarily Raising the Minimum Wage Affects Retailers

As Congress continues to focus on the president's $1.9 trillion relieve plan, one part of the deal is still causing a lot of debate around the country: raising the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour. Andy Puzder, former CEO of CKE Restaurants, and Arindrajit Dube, economics professor at UMass Amherst and research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research, joined "Squawk Box" on Tuesday to discuss.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday said that a $15 federal minimum wage will be included in the coronavirus aid package her chamber is preparing to send to the Senate.

“We’re very proud of that,” she told reporters during a weekly press briefing. “As I’ve said, 27 million people will get a raise, 70% of them women.”

Confirmation that the $15 federal minimum wage will be included in the latest version of the $1.9 trillion bill comes just days after the Senate voted on a nonbinding agreement to ban raising the minimum wage during the pandemic.

Still, House Democrats have pushed to keep the wage hike in their version of President Joe Biden’s American Rescue Plan, arguing that boosting pay for millions of workers is important to the U.S. economic recovery. Democrats are preparing to pass the plan through a sped-up process called budget reconciliation that doesn’t require any Republican support.

What happens next?

Pelosi has said the House wants to pass the aid package in the next two weeks, which would send it to the Senate where it faces its final test.

To be eligible for budget reconciliation in the Senate, legislation must have a direct impact on the federal budget. While a few studies have shown that raising the minimum wage would do that, it’s still unclear that the Senate parliamentarian, lawyer Elizabeth MacDonough, will approve the Democrats’ bill. (The parliamentarian is the Senate’s advisor on the interpretation of its rules and procedures, according to Senate.gov.) 

Democrats are doing what they can to make the case that the wage hike should be included in reconciliation.

“We’re trying to work as well as we can with the parliamentarian to get a minimum wage to happen,” said Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., in a Tuesday briefing. On Sunday, Bernie Sanders, independent senator from Vermont, said in an interview with CNN that a room full of lawyers are working on making the case.

If the parliamentarian says that the $15 minimum wage boost isn’t eligible to be included in reconciliation, Vice President Kamala Harris could overrule her advice. Then, the legislation could be passed with support from 50 Democrats and Harris casting the tiebreaking vote.

“Before we get to what the vice president is going to do, I’ve got to get through the parliamentarian and then I’ve got to get 50 votes in support of raising that minimum wage to $15 an hour,” Sanders said Sunday. “I am working as hard as I can to make that happen.”
