NPI releases first white paper for 2007 - Raising the Minimum Wage
We're pleased to announce the publication of our first white paper for 2007 - "Raising the Minimum Wage", authored by Brock Haussamen, an expert who studies and tracks the issue.
The policy brief, which is based on his published research about the subject, offers extensive background information, a look at the current situation at the federal, state, and local (or municipal) levels, as well as four recommendations for a sounder minimum wage. It also debunks "too good to be true" arguments, especially from opponents of an increase.
We want to express our appreciation to mcjoan for featuring the paper (already!) on Daily Kos' front page. We hope this policy brief proves useful to the local and national progressive movement in fighting alongside elected Democrats in the effort to raise the minimum wage.
