摘要

普遍的讨论认为，最低工资的提高主要推动了最低工资工人的工资增长。我们使用当前人口调查来评估最低工资工人在12个月后加薪的比例，从而对这一假设进行调查。随着州最低工资的提高，这一比例略高，并与劳动力市场紧缩的几个指标呈正相关。最后，工资增长经常伴随着行业和/或职业的转变，这突出了职业发展对入门级工人收入增长的重要性。职业发展和劳动力需求的增加，而不是最低工资的增加，似乎推动了最低工资工人的大部分工资增长。

How important are minimum wage increases in increasing the wages of minimum wage workers?

Popular discussion presumes minimum wage increases primarily drive wage gains for minimum wage workers. We investigate this presumption using the Current Population Survey to assess the fraction of minimum wage workers receiving raises after 12 months. This fraction is moderately higher following state minimum wage increases, and positively correlated with several measures of labor market tightness. Finally, wage gains frequently follow industry and/or occupation switches, highlighting the importance of career progression for earnings growth among entry-level workers. Career progression and increases in labor demand rather than minimum wage increases appear to drive most wage gains for minimum wage workers.
