Arin Dube’s research on raising the minimum wage cited in Forbes, Inquisitr and New Republic

Research conducted by Arindrajit Dube is cited in two columns in Forbes magazine and two news stories about the impact of raising the minimum wage. The two columns are about whether the earned income tax credit serves as a form of welfare for corporations that pay their workers low wages – an argument Dube disputes. In the news stories, Dube’s research on how modest increases in the minimum wage help lower the poverty rate is referenced.
