Abstract

Prior research on minimum wage employment tends to assume that coverage is either universal or easily estimated. In reality, coverage of teenagers and youth is low and results from a diversity of both employer and employee characteristics. Failure to recognize this has biased prior estimates of noncompliance and displacement. This study uses the NLSY to document the prevalence of below-minimum wage jobs among young workers and show their links to both worker and employer characteristics.
