The document discusses the history and current state of the minimum wage in the United States. It notes that the current federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour or about $15,000 per year, and was established by the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 at 25 cents per hour. Over the past 5 decades, the minimum wage has increased but has not kept up with inflation. There is an ongoing campaign to raise the minimum wage nationally to $9 per hour.
The document discusses how minimum wage increases have led to higher unemployment, especially among teenagers and unskilled workers. It presents evidence from economic studies that show minimum wage hikes price the least skilled workers out of the labor market. While well-intended to help low-income individuals, minimum wage laws have had the unintended consequence of increasing unemployment as mandated wages are set above market prices.
The Minimum Wages Act of 1948 was passed to protect unorganized workers in certain industries by establishing minimum wage rates. The Act aims to ensure wages are enough not just for a worker's subsistence but to maintain their work efficiency. It empowers the appropriate government to fix minimum wages for scheduled employments where exploitation is common. Key objectives include preventing exploitation, empowering governments to set and revise wages regularly, and applying the law widely in organized sectors. The Act outlines procedures for fixing and revising wages every five years and establishes advisory boards. It regulates payment and overtime wages, and penalties are prescribed for paying less than minimum wage.
