Student Shares Negative Opinion Of High Minimum Wage Laws

Letter To The Editor:

Illinois's minimum wage rose rapidly in the last few years and is still on the rise. My opinion sheds light on the negative effects which a high minimum wage can have.

It is based on the principles of economics and was written in consultation with my professor Dr. Cocks from the Principia College Economics department.

I am a Business Administration and Economics double major attending Principia College in Elsah Illinois. Thank you very much, Leander.
