About this episode

Bob critiques Arin Dube's arguments for minimum wage hikes and presents alternative data on its impact on teen employment.

Bob goes through a recent Substack post (adapted from his book) by Arin Dube, a leading economist pushing for aggressive minimum wage hikes. Bob shows the weaknesses in Dube's results, and gives an alternative measure detailing just how chilling minimum wage hikes may be on teen employment.
