Oregon's Experience With Minimum Wage Legislation

"Oregon's Experience With Minimum Wage Legislation" provides an in-depth analysis of the early implementation and impact of minimum wage laws in the United States.

Through a meticulous review of contemporary data and judicial decisions, Morris evaluates how these laws affected both industrial stability and the personal welfare of employees.
