Part 1 What is the problem with minimum wage?  Who does the minimum wage help? Who does the minimum wage hurt? How does an increase in the minimum wage affect the economy?  Part 2 Should we increase or decrease the minimum wage? Should we pay everyone $15 per hour.  Should we use price floors in an attempt to fix the minimum wage? How would you fix the minimum wage? Explain?
The minimum wage originally was only 25 cents an hour. Today it is $7.25 an hour. Assume that Congress is considering raising the minimum wage again and your U.S. representative is asking for public opinion on this issue. Write a letter to your representative with arguments for and against a higher minimum wage.
Evaluate this statement: "All minimum wage workers would be better off if the minimum wage rose to $10.50 per hour."
