Besides,forcing employers to invest more money in their workers can pay off in increased production.A worker complaining his or her unfairly low pay may only work just enough to avoid getting fired,but a worker who feels rightly compensated(补偿) will work harder.
What’s more,improving the conditions and pay of the “working poor” can pay off significantly for the nation as a whole.The workers are less likely to engage in crime and antisocial behavior if they begin earning proper pay.
On the other hand,forcing employers to pay employees more could reduce the number of employees they are able to hire,increasing unemployment.Though some workers would be better compensated,some would be out of work.This increase in unemployment would counteract(抵消) any benefits caused by allowing the remaining workers to receive higher wages:Crime and other social ills would increase,fueled by an artificially elevated unemployment rate.
Finally,increasing the minimum wage will drive up prices on all goods and services,harming consumers.A grocery store having to pay an additional $1.50 per hour to each employee will be forced to raise prices on its products.Minimum wage employees would have to pay higher prices at stores.As consumer demand dropped due to higher prices,employers might be forced to lay off workers.
