Labor leaders are celebrating the decision to raise New York’s minimum
wage for fast-food workers to $15 per hour, but economists say the
results for low-income workers will be mixed.

A recent Congressional Budget Office study estimated that raising the
federal minimum wage to $10.10 from the current level of $7.25 would
reduce employment by 0.3%. The minimum wage hike for fast food workers
New York enacted, however, is more extreme than what the CBO looked at.
Economist Jared Bernstein has argued for the raising of the federal
minimum wage because the benefits would greatly outweigh the costs.
According to David Neumark, Director of the Center for Economics &
Public Policy and UC Irvine, however, “We know that minimum wages reduce
employment more the higher the minimum wage is relative [to the average
prevailing wage]”
