Abstract

This paper estimates the effect of minimum wage increases on work that is not covered by minimum wage laws. I find that minimum wage increases in the early 2000s resulted in small reductions in engagement in traditional self-employment. Following the development of the online gig economy in the 2010s, a 10% increase in the minimum wage increased the number of nonemployer establishments classified as transportation and warehousing services by approximately 2.7%. The counties most likely to exhibit a positive relationship between the minimum wage and participation in uncovered work are those with low labor market concentration and active Uber marketplaces.

最低工资、自主创业和在线零工经济

本文估计了最低工资增长对最低工资法未涵盖的工作的影响。我发现，21世纪初最低工资的提高导致传统自营职业的参与率小幅下降。随着2010年代在线零工经济的发展，最低工资标准每提高10%，运输和仓储服务等非雇主机构的数量就会增加约2.7%。最低工资与无薪工作参与率之间最有可能表现出正相关关系的县是那些劳动力市场集中度较低、优步市场活跃的县。
