2.	Effects of Minimum Wages on Human Capital Formation In: Economics of Legal Minimum Wages. S. Rattenberg, ed.

The hypothesis that minimum wages tend to discourage on-the-job training is largely supported by our empirical analysis. Direct effects on reported job training and corollary effects on wage growth as estimated in microdata of the NLS of Young Men and Michigan Income Dynamics (MID) are consistently negative and stronger at lower education levels. Apart from a single exception, no effects are observable among the higher wage group whose education exceeds high school. The effects on job turnover are: a decrease in turnover among young NLS whites, but an increase among young NLS blacks and MID whites. Whether these apparently conflicting findings on turnover reflect a distinction between short and long run adjustments in jobs is a question that requires further testing.

The Declining Importance of Race and Gender in the Labor Market: The Role of Employment Discrimination Policies Washington, DC: AEI Press, 2012 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research Keyword(s): Discrimination; Discrimination, Employer; Discrimination, Racial/Ethnic; Discrimination, Sex; Gender Attitudes/Roles; Labor Force Participation; Legislation; Racial Differences; Racial Equality/Inequality; Wage Gap Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The Declining Importance of Race and Gender in the Labor Market provides historical background on employment discrimination and wage discrepancies in the United States and on government efforts to address employment discrimination. It examines the two federal institutions tasked with enforcing Title VII and the 1964 Civil Rights Act: the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP). It also provides a quantitative analysis of racial and gender wage gaps and seeks to determine what role, if any, the EEOC and the OFCCP had in narrowing these gaps over time and analyzes the data to determine the extent of employment discrimination today.

Poverty and the Minimum Wage Report, American Enterprise for Public Policy Research, 1980 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research Keyword(s): Earnings; Industrial Sector; Marital Status; Minimum Wage; Occupations; Poverty; Racial Differences; Transfers, Financial; Transfers, Public; Women Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This report assesses the minimum wage as a poverty program. The author argues that the minimum wage is largely a reallocation among low-wage demographic groups: adult females as a group are the beneficiaries and teenagers of both sexes are the principal losers. Utilizing data from the NLS of Mature Women, particular attention is paid to the impact of minimum wages on the structure of wage rates and earnings during 1967-1974 (when the real level of minimum wages fell by almost 30 percent) and during 1974-1976 (when the real minimum was raised by 24 percent). The author estimates that wage rates of low-wage adult females were 10 to 20 percent higher in sectors with a minimum wage and were unaffected in the sector with no minimum. Employment reductions, however, limited annual earnings gains to less than $150 per low-wage female. The modest dimension of this gain raises serious question about the efficiency of minimum wages in transferring income to the poor.
