Minimum Wage Study Commission

The Minimum Wage Study Commission was a government-appointed body tasked with examining the effects of raising the minimum wage. It analyzed how higher wages impact employment, business operations, and the economy. The commission’s goal was to provide informed recommendations and data to policymakers, ensuring that any changes to the minimum wage would consider both workers’ well-being and potential economic consequences. Established to promote balanced and effective wage policies, the commission’s work helped guide decisions on fair pay standards for low-wage workers while considering broader economic implications.
