APPAM invites you to a webinar on minimum wage policy where a panel of distinguished experts will discuss the impacts of current minimum wage policies and the effects possible future changes could have on the economy and individuals.
The panel will discuss results from Allard's paper examining the increased Seattle minimum wage, including a look at the administrative data analysis of the low wage labor market, in-depth interviews with low income workers and results of surveys from firms and nonprofits in the Seattle area. The group will cover firm effects of increasing the minimum wage in Seattle as well as employment and the distributional effects of wealth and how community based nonprofits adjusted their business practices.
