Minimum Wages: Issues and Evidence, by Finis Welch, analyzes the










effects on employment of changes in minimum wage levels and cover-










age. From his own research and a review of the evidence developed by










others, the author concludes that minimum wages have reduced em-









ployment of those who would otherwise earn low wages. The jobs










most sharply affected are disproportionately those of the aged, teen-










agers, and part-time workers. Since the Fair Labor Standards Act










was passed in 1938, a series of amendments has provided for periodic









increases in the federal minimum wage and has expanded the coverage.










The increase scheduled under the 1977 amendment is expected to










have a far greater effect than that of previous increases.









    Finis Welch is professor of economics at the University of Cali-











fornia, Los Angeles, and economist at the Rand Corporation.
