The Obama administration’s proposal to raise the minimum
wage to $10.10 an hour could result in as many 1,084,000 jobs eliminated from
the work force class,
according to a new study conducted by the Employment Policies Institute (EPI)
“No amount of denial by the president and his political allies
— and no number of ‘studies’ published by biased researchers — can change the
fact that minimum wage hikes eliminate jobs for
low-skill and entry-level employees. Non-partisan economists have agreed on
this consensus for decades, and the laws of economics haven’t changed,” Michael
Saltsman, research director at EPI, said in a statement.
