Card 13 / 53: Explain how minimum wage laws might lead to a decline in workplace quality.
Answer:
Employers attract workers through a combination of job features including salary (or wage), health benefits, length of lunch breaks, temperature of the workplace, etc. If minimum wage laws force an employer to offer higher monetary compensation than he otherwise would have, he might cut back on some of the other desirable features of the job to recoup the money. Sample Partial Credit Answer The employer might pay the higher wages by cutting back elsewhere, such as air conditioning.
