Supporters of the minimum wage claim it has these effects:Increases the standard of living for the poorest and most vulnerable class in society and raises average.[1] Motivates and encourages employees to work harder (unlike welfare programs and other transfer payments).[32] Stimulates consumption, by putting more money in the hands of low-income people who spend their entire paychecks.[1] Increases the work ethic of those who earn very little, as employers demand more return from the higher cost of hiring these employees.[1] Decreases the cost of government social welfare programs by increasing incomes for the lowest-paid.[1] Encourages the automation of industry.[33] Encourages people to join the workforce rather than pursuing money through illegal means, e.g., selling illegal drugs [34][35] Opponents of the minimum wage claim it has these effects:As a labor market analogue of political-economic protectionism, it excludes low cost competitors from labor markets, hampers firms in reducing wage costs during trade downturns, generates various industrial-economic inefficiencies as well as unemployment, poverty, and price rises, and generally dysfunctions.[36][clarification needed] Hurts small business more than large business.[37] Reduces quantity demanded of workers, either through a reduction in the number of hours worked by individuals, or through a reduction in the number of jobs.[38][39] May cause price inflation as businesses try to compensate by raising the prices of the goods being sold.[40][41] Benefits some workers at the expense of the poorest and least productive.[42] Can result in the exclusion of certain groups from the labor force.[43] Is less effective than other methods (e.g. the Earned Income Tax Credit) at reducing poverty, and is more damaging to businesses than those other methods.[44] Discourages further education among the poor by enticing people to enter the job market.[44]
