Paper Summary:

This paper gives a brief history of the minimum wage laws in the United States and attempts to show that minimum raise increases benefit more than just the lower-class society in America.

From the Paper:

"In addition, much of the working poor were falling well below the poverty line, and even the middle class were beginning to lose economic ground. By 1936, the Public Contracts act allotted for a minimum wage provision in all federal contracts (Illinois Labor History Society, 24). Several states had also attempted to follow Massachusetts' lead, and enact their own minimum wage laws, but were met with Supreme Court opposition until a ruling in 1937 (Relave, 2)."
