Expanding Employee Wages: Impact of Minimum and Sub-Minimum Wages

This study will conduct pre and post comparisons of employment outcomes of people with disabilities as state-level minimum wages are increased, compared to otherwise-similar states that have not increased their minimum wage at the same time. The outcomes will include a) employment rates, b) pay levels, and c) overall income levels.
