question 129

Essay

A survey conducted by Newsweek magazine (June 27, 2011) indicated that many Americans would be willing to work for far less than the minimum wage-some as low as 25¢ per hour! What would happen if the U.S. government eliminated the minimum wage, and instead let wages be set by the marketplace?
