The decision will have major implications, for the future of both the party and the US economy. The cash benefit is clearly the better option.</p><p> </p><p>One problem with the minimum wage hike is that it is not clear how many people are harmed and how many low-skilled workers will lose their jobs, especially in poorer, lower-wage states such as Mississippi, where $15 is the median hourly wage. Advocates point to papers suggesting that minimum wage hikes do not boost unemployment, yet a recent survey suggests that the preponderance of the research shows job losses.</p><p> </p><p>Or consider Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. She supports the proposed hike, as she noted in her confirmation hearing last week, yet in 2014 she endorsed the view that a minimum wage hike would lead to significant job loss. Maybe now she knows better, but if the 2014 Janet Yellen could have been so fooled, then perhaps this debate is not so settled.</p><p> </p><p>중략.............</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><span style="color: #000000;">------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</span></p><p><span style="color: #000000;">※ 시사 뉴스를 1년 이상 읽으면, 미래를 예측할 수 있는 힘이 생깁니다.</span></p><p><span style="color: #000000;">※ 자기 분야의 영어 잡지를 3년 이상 읽으면 </span>자기 분야의 선두 그룹<span style="color: #000000;">에 속하게 됩니다.</span></p><p><span style="color: #000000;">※</span><span style="color: #000000;"> </span><span style="color: #000000;">시사 영어는 영작 실력을 길러주고, </span><span style="color: #000000;">늘 똑같은 외국인과 대화에 변화를 줍니다.</span></p><p> </p><p> </p>
