Minimum Wage

Our economists are examining how a higher minimum wage might affect social benefits coverage, some industries, prices and, of course, employment.

Minimum Wage Study

Researchers at the Minneapolis Fed are working on multi-year impact evaluations to examine the ongoing minimum wage increases for Minneapolis and St. Paul. Loukas Karabarbounis, Jeremy Lise, and Anusha Nath will examine short-run and long-run effects of minimum wage increases on workers and firms.
