Abstract

We use rich administrative data to study employment and income during a period of minimum wage growth in Washington State for a group of workers who may be particularly sensitive to changes in the minimum wage: college students. Using a within-student estimator and quarterly work records, we consistently find that rising minimum wages are associated with reduced summer employment, the quarter in which students tend to work the most. Students experiencing the largest reductions in employment are those with little or no work experience and non-local students. This is partially mitigated by students working more during the academic year.

伙计,我的(暑假)工作呢?最低工资和学生就业
我们使用丰富的行政数据来研究华盛顿州最低工资增长期间的就业和收入情况,研究对象是一群可能对最低工资变化特别敏感的工人:大学生。使用学生内部估算器和季度工作记录,我们一致发现,最低工资的上涨与暑期就业的减少有关,而暑期就业往往是学生工作最多的季度。就业机会减少最多的是那些没有或很少有工作经验的学生和非本地学生。这在一定程度上可以通过学生在学年期间更多地工作来缓解。
