For this discussion you will debate with your peers the concept of increasing minimum wage

For this discussion you will debate with your peers the concept of increasing minimum wage. To participate in a knowledgeable debate, you must have a firm understanding of each side of the issue. Your textbook discusses minimum wage in detail and like many traditional economists, for the most part, does not support increasing the minimum wage. The text discusses the negative impacts that such increases may create. Find at least two scholarly and credible resources (other than the Macroeconomics: Private and Public Choice text) that discuss minimum wage. In your post, use facts; do not simply document or restate opinion.

Write an initial post of at least 200 words that either supports or does not support an increase in minimum wage. Be sure to use economist terminology and include facts. Support your response with at least two scholarly and credible resources.
