Paychecks were growing before minimum wage hikes

A total of 24 states have increased or plan to increase their minimum wage mandates. However the data shows wages have been rising even before the fight for higher minimum wage movement. Additionally, only a small number of workers are helped by higher minimum wage mandates contrary to common belief.


And because minimum wage workers make a very small percentage of workers, minimum wage rises make a miniscule of overall wage changes.


The fact of the matter is minimum wage workers continue to make a smaller and smaller proportion of workers. This is partly due to minimum wage mandates, but mainly because of employers raising wages due to rising productivity. Additionally younger workers entering the workforce (especially employed teenagers between 16 and 19), as well as highly inexperienced and low skilled workers make up a bigger proportion of minimum wage workers. This only goes to show wages go up as workers earn gain more skills and experience.
