Reference no: EM132473098

Should the federal minimum wage in the United States be raised to $15 an hour by 2020? Consider this issue both from moral and scientific standpoints. Draw on the lecture material and/or a selection of the materials on the syllabus in answering the question: don't just give an opinion that you cannot back up in some way. Keep in mind both the intended consequences of raising the minimum wage significantly-i.e. to raise living standards for low-wage workers and their families-as well as the potential unintended consequences-that raising the minimum wage could cause unemployment to rise.
