If the minimum wage is raised to $ 15 greater automation of jobs could occur.
( A minimum wage of $ 15 will increase the labour cost of companies. Companies will have to raise their prices. Demand will get affected. They will try to chop labour costs by laying off workers. Automation will appear to be cost effective for them. Studies have revealed that 10% increase minimum wage results in 0.31 percentage point decrease in the share of low skilled workers' automable jobs.)
