Minimum Wage Rise Destabilizes Jobs Say Federation Warns
A 1971 survey by the National Federation of Independent Business cautions that raising the minimum wage from 1.60 to 2.00 per hour could cause substantial job losses, particularly for teens, the aged, and disabled, with numerous small businesses reporting layoffs and higher costs across industries nationwide. The paper cites examples from Massachusetts, Montana, California, Ohio, Indiana, Nebraska, Texas, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. The study notes years of welfare growth tied to wage hikes and warns of reduced teen hiring and training opportunities if the wage rate climbs.
