Amity, can you give your opinion regards the Fed
#minimumwage ? Should it be eliminated and left to the States as per the US Constitution? Would this be a significant positive event if accomplished?
No Depression repeats, please. A minimum wage pressures employers to pay more. Pressure on employers to pay more worsens unemployment. Placing upward pressure on wages through the minimum wage and other moves contributed to the legendary unemployment of the Great Depression.
