The minimum wage is set by the government and is the lowest hourly wage a business can pay an employee. For example, if the minimum wage of a country is $5.25 per hour, then businesses cannot pay their employees any less than this. However, because of the many disadvantages that the minimum wage has caused for businesses and workers, minimum wage laws should be abolished.
First, the minimum wage makes workers too expensive for some businesses, especially smaller businesses. If the minimum wage is set at $5.25 and a small business owner can only afford to hire someone at $5.00 an hour, both are at a disadvantage because of the minimum wage. The business owner cannot hire as many workers as he or she likes. Also, potential workers for that business remain unemployed. For this reason, minimum wages can raise unemployment rates.
In addition, the minimum wage encourages larger businesses to move their production out of one country and into another. Since some foreign countries may not have minimum wage laws, labor in these countries can cost much less than labor in a country with such laws in place. This can ultimately hurt the parent country because many larger businesses choose to relocate to a foreign country, removing a number of jobs in the process.
Finally, the minimum wage encourages companies to purchase machine technology that can replace workers. If it is less expensive for a company to purchase an automated machine to do a task than it is to pay an employee to do the same job, the business will undoubtedly purchase the machine. If the cost of labor remains low, however, companies are less likely to replace workers with automated machine systems.
Both the reading and the lecture are about the minimum wage law and its effect on the diffeent parts of economy such as employment rate and countries' economy. The author of the reading asserts that this legislation affects the whole economy negetively and raise the unemployment rate and it should be abolished. On the other hand, the professor avers that this law does not affect the economy of the country at all and insist that this government intervention should be kept on: then, she rebuts all the author's reasons.
First, the reading materials claims that this minimum wage makes hiring of workers so expensive for many small companies. As a results, companies avoid to hire labores even they need, and on the other side potential workers remained unemploied. The speaker, however, repudiates this point by explaining that statics show that unemployment rate has not changed after enacting this law. She believe that this is only a misconseption that unemplyment rate increased, and asserts that this law does not have any positive or negative effect on employment rate in the country.
Second, the article points out that after this law amny large companies moved to other countries which they do not have this minimum wage law. It claims that this relocation of businesses hart the original country's economy. Conversely, the lecturer challenges this notion by mentioning that it is true that some buisness moved to other countries, but it does not have anything relate to the minimum wage law. She says that those relocation are based on the difference of cost of living between those countries. Whereas many of these new countries have the minimum wage law too. She asserts that owner of the companies benefit from low cost of living in those countries.
Third, the article posits that companies try to replace machines instead of worker everywhere it is possible to hire less labor. On the other hand, the lecturer opposes this notion and asserts that this strategy is not relate to the minimum wage law because companies are looking for a way to save money and decrease the cost of their products. If they can use machineray system they will do that and it will not affect the country's economy.
