It's kind of hard to measure, since we don't have any alternative or way to know what wages would be without a min. wage. I'm guessing they'd end up about the same after some fluctuation. I'm sure it has a short-term very bad effect when it gets hiked up, but things settle back down after a while. Either way, I have a problem with gov't. price controls and that's what the min. wage is. If they can tell you how much labor has to cost, they can do the same with other commodities.
