Improving labor freedom in Minnesota: Minimum wage

Preview:

This policy briefing argues that if high-cost localities can make their own local minimum wage laws on the account of the high cost of living, low-cost localities should not be bound by the state’s high minimum wage on the account of their relatively low cost of living. The statewide minimum wage law fails to consider local economic differences and imposes disproportionate costs on small businesses as well as low-skilled workers in low-income, low-cost regions of the state. It should be abolished.
