This article begins discussing the historically high minimum wage decision in Seattle, Washington to pay its workers at least $15 per hour. This spike has been able to spark an increase throughout many other states. Although almost three quarters of the public in the United States of America favors the raising of federal minimum wage up over $10 an hour, federal lawmakers have not agreed to raise the federal minimum wage (Dreier 87). President Obama has proposed a federal minimum wage of $9 per hour because he believes that the low minimum wage puts some families below the poverty line (Dreier 87-8).

This newspaper article is relevant to the University of Maryland community. This article refers to another University that is only a state away. The student workers are being paid $15 per hour to work for the university. This raises debates at the University of Maryland on the pay its student workers deserve. In the article, Forgey specifies that the wage of the faculty did not rise so the University pushed that the other workers receive more pay. This wage is over double the state federal and state minimum wages. This high wage helps students struggling with issues such as car payments. One employee, Karen Matthis, was interviewed and said that she did not have to worry about the bill coming from the auto body repair shop with her higher wage. The raising of minimum wage benefits all employees.

In this paper, Kalenkoski and Lacombe introduce some literary works that encourage the execution of panel studies to show the effects of minimum wage. Since those books were published in the early 1990s, there have been a number of panel studies done throughout the 2000s. The data that Kalenkoski and Lacombe collected studied the work or lack of work by teenagers in the years 1990-2004 between the ages of 16 and 19 in states that were connected to other states, with the exception of D.C. and Connecticut because of missing information (410). Their results found that the low minimum wage negatively affected teen employment (413). This suggests that with a higher minimum wage, more teens would become employed.

Este artículo es muy bueno porque habla en Español. That translated to English says that the article is good because it also includes writings in Spanish. This relates to the minorities immediately because not all workers in the United States of America speak the English language as their first language or speak English at all. This article also references the racial inequalities between African Americans and Caucasians. There is a discrepancy in the pay between the two races. Some employers do not necessarily pay for the quality of work but for the color of a person’s skin. There are images in this article that show that Maryland has unjust wage gaps between the two races. The conclusion of this article is that many of the minimum wage raises across the nation will benefit black workers.

This excerpt is relevant to the issue of minimum wage even though it refers to the state of Texas over the state of Maryland. This excerpt discusses the legalities within minimum wage and how just minimum wage actually is. The low amount of minimum wage is unjust because it limits families’ use of the money in regards to their life plan. This is a difficult reference only because it makes so many references to other books, papers, and law reviews. Rogers argues that minimum wage laws are put into place to keep some kind of equality between workers (1564). The final conclusion is that these laws are put into place to keep a standard of justice in the workplace.
