502 Sacramento, CA 95814 (916)444-0500 FAX (916)444-0172 August 2000 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON THE MINIMUM WAGE IN CALIFORNIA Q: Does increasing the minimum wage raise wages? After the 1996-1998 minimum wage increases in California, wages rose substantially for those at the bottom of the wage distribution. [...] A recent study by government economists estimates that over 8 percent of workers nationally spend at least half of their first 10 post-school years in jobs that pay within a dollar of the minimum wage.3 That is about the same as the current portion of workers in jobs that pay near the minimum.4 This indicates that a sizable fraction of workers stay in jobs at or near the minimum wage for a signifi. [...] The employment rate grew by 1.8 points more for Latinos, 6.5 points more for adults over 20 years old without a high school degree, and .4 points more for teenagers as compared to the overall growth rate of 3.0 points.6 Data for this period also suggest that the retail industry -- which employs over a third of workers earning near the minimum wage -- did not employ fewer people than it would have. [...] While previous research has often found evidence of job loss in the eating and drinking (restaurant) sector of the retail industry, CBP's analysis of the data from the most recent wage increases found the evidence to be inconsistent.7 Q: Do minimum wage increases benefit the poor? One way to measure if minimum wage increases are well-targeted is to divide all California families by income into ten. [...] Wage levels were approximated for each low-wage industry by dividing the payroll levels reported in California Business Patterns and Covered Employment and Wage reports (ES-202) by the number of persons employed as reported by the Employment Development Department, a distinct reporting source.

Starting in the 1990s, San Francisco launched a series of bold but relatively unknown public policy experiments to improve wages and benefits for thousands of local workers. Since then, scholars have documented the effects of those policies on compensation, productivity, job creation, and health coverage. Opponents predicted a range of negative impacts, but the evidence tells a decidedly different tale. This book brings together that evidence for the first time, reviews it as a whole, and considers its lessons for local, state, and federal policymakers.

California is one of 11 states with a minimum rate that is higher than the national minimum wage of $5.15 per hour.2 This report examines the impact of the minimum wage on wage and employment trends. [...] While the recent increases reversed a decline in earnings at the low end of the wage distribution, the purchasing power of the minimum wage remains below its 1981 value.3 More importantly, the rate is insufficient for either a single person or a family dependent on minimum wage earnings to achieve a modest standard of living. [...] Most of these workers re- ceived a pay raise that was directly attributable to the increased minimum wage on January 1, 2002.4 Most of the benefits of the increase in the minimum wage have gone to adults and full-time workers, and have been especially important for California's Latino and female workers. [...] Source: Department of Finance ADEQUACY OF CALIFORNIA'S MINIMUM WAGE The purchasing power of California's minimum wage has declined from $8.92 in 1968 to $6.75 today, a drop of 24.3 percent in 2002 dollars (Figure 1). [...] Moreover, research conducted for the CBP examining the impact of the 1996 and 1997 increases in the minimum wage rate found that workers who dispropor- tionately work for low wages were not harmed by minimum wage increases.12 Minimum wage critics also argue that a higher minimum wage would force certain industries that are heavily dependent on low-wage workers - particularly retail trade and servi.

State law requires the California Industrial Welfare Commission (IWC) to conduct "a full review of the adequacy of the minimum wage at least once every two years."3 Pursuant to this mandate, the IWC recently established a "wage board" composed of representatives from business and labor to review the state's minimum wage. [...] While the recent increases temporarily reversed a decade-long decline in earnings at the low end of the wage distribution, the purchasing power of the minimum wage remains low compared with its value prior to 1982. [...] At the federal level, the Economic Policy Institute found that the 1996 and 1997 minimum wage in- creases succeeded in raising the wages of 10 million workers while the impact on employment was "statistically insignificant ...
