		The second myth is that the widening wage inequality and proliferation of low-wage jobs are primarily the result of a skills deficit, which has been intensified by increased demand for "knowledge workers" in an era of corporate restructuring.
		It is hard to imagine a full return to the regulation of the postwar boom, with regulated, shared monopolies in telecommunications, airlines, hospitals, electric power, broadcasting and several other core industries.
		Regulations could reduce the incentive to shift to temps and contract workers by requiring that contingent workers receive the same fringe benefits as permanent employees.

	Encyclopedia: Wage Regulation
		If the aim of wage regulation is to improve the living standards of society, this is a self defeating practice.
		So a minimum wage can simply prevent abuse and says to employers, âif you cannot pay at least this pittance, you should not be in business anyway.â Facts do not refute this, since jobs have increased, not decreased since 1998 in the United Kingdom.
		The National Minimum Wage Act 1998 was a flagship policy of the Labour Party in the UK during its 1997 election campaign and is still pronounced today in New Labour Party circulars as an outstanding gain for â€˜at least 1.

	Sense and Nonsense on the Minimum Wage
		The descriptions of wages and employment that follow are based on the Current Population Surveys conducted by the Bureau of the Census and used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics to calculate monthly unemployment statistics.
		The relative increase in wages of low-wage labor, together with the concentration at the applicable minimums, implies that there is substantial compliance with the wage laws and—what amounts to the same thing—a substantial increase in the cost of employing those who would otherwise earn less than the minimum.
		Each of the studies is aimed at measuring the effect of a different hike in minimum wages: the 1988 increase in California’s state minimum to $4.25, the 1990 and 1991 increases in the federal minimum, and the 1992 increase in New Jersey’s state minimum to $5.05.

		Wage subsidies are paid directly to licensed child care programs by the provincial ministry of Community and Social Services to supplement staff salaries.
		Wage subsidies were first instituted in 1987 and increased in 1991-94.
		Wage subsidies are paid to all staff working in child care centres, nursery schools and school-age programs, home child care agencies and regulated home child care providers and to staff working in family resource centres.

		The plaintiffs contended that the regulation exempting them from the overtime provision's coverage was invalid, as the Commissioner had no authority to enact it, and that they were therefore entitled to 1-1/2 times their regular hourly wages for any overtime work.
		The District Court held that the regulation was valid, and that for the period prior to the effective date of the regulation the defendant had acted with a good-faith belief that it need not pay overtime, thereby absolving it of any liability.
		While the regulation at issue here requires trucking industry employers to pay at least 1-1/2 times the statutory minimum wage to their employees (rather than 1-1/2 times the employees' own wage rates) for overtime hours, the record discloses that virtually all trucking industry employees have wage rates that exceed 1-1/2 times the statutory minimum wage.

	wage and price controls on Encyclopedia.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Brief but strict wage and price controls were imposed during World War II and the Korean War, as well as more limited ones in the 1960s.
		America's most controversial peacetime experiment with an incomes policy was during the period 1971-74, when inflation was fueled by the costs of the Vietnam War, the 1973 oil embargo, and the later quadrupling in the world price of oil by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
		Wage and price controls during peacetime have yielded minor gains at best in the United States; in postwar Western Europe, incomes policies have been more frequently used.

	Australian Labour Market Deregulation: A Critical Assessment (Research Paper 21 1999-2000) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		The labour market is now split into three segments with different types of wage regulation: approximately 30 to 40 per cent of employees now have some or all of their working conditions regulated by an enterprise agreement, another third remains dependent on awards unable to negotiate enterprise agreements and another third is on individual contracts.
		Wages and hours are the dominant issues in agreements: enterprise bargaining has not, generally speaking, been used as a vehicle for 'best practice' but instead has facilitated and entrenched the fragmentation of working hours amongst part-timers and the length of working hours amongst full-timers.
		The principle of comparative wage justice was: 'That employees doing the same work for different employers or in different industries should by and large receive the same amount of pay irrespective of the capacity of their employer and industry'.

	Wage regulation negotiations in the state sector finalised

		This was not unexpected since the wage statistics show that the teachers have had a less favourable wage increase over the past year relative to other groups.
		The remaining funds were set aside for the central wage regulation negotiations and for local negotiations.

	Minimum Wage Regulation
		The quality of the data on women's wages is remarkable: for example, the Massachusetts commission in 1911 collected individual wage schedules for 6,900 people, and supplemented this with wage data from the Bureau of Labor study for some 8,000 women.
		For example, the Bureau of Labor study tabulated women's wages in 13 establishments in the glass industry, and found that for four distinct categories of relatively unskilled work, the wage paid by the establishment at the top of the distribution was twice the wage paid at the bottom.
		Moreover, although the minimum wage series depicted in Figure 1 has about 700 observations, the amount of relevant information in this series is effectively the number of times the minimum was increased by a substantial amount, and the increase was not quickly erased by inflation.

		If the regulation only should be applicable for contracts signed after …….., firstly, it could lead to unreasonable and incidental differences in terms of wages and employment and secondly result in substantial variations in cost level for the enterprises.
		This regulation is not applicable if the employee, based on a total assessment, is covered by more favourable terms of wages and employment according to agreement or the law of the country which ordinarily applies for the employment relationship.

		Pennsylvania's Rick Santorum is leading the charge for a GOP bill that would ostensibly raise the minimum wage by $1.10 per hour, but in reality would cut wages for millions of American workers and expand unregulated sweatshops across the country.
		Backed by the conservative American Legislative Exchange Council, these "minimum wage repeal acts" are the model for the national GOP going further and preempting state minimum wage laws, just as they recently preempted state class action laws and just as they have preemped state health care and environmental regulation.
		The minimum wage is the lowest in decades, yet unemployment among many of the poorest communities is higher than at points, like the late 1960s, when the minimum wage was far higher.

	Let's End Poverty by Decree (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		The latest cure-all comes in the form of the "living wage," an uber-minimum wage set higher than state and federal minimum wages that is calculated to allow a family of four to obtain "adequate" health care and housing and exceed the poverty line solely on the living wage earner's salary.
		Living wage ordinances (LWOs) are typically set between $12 and $15 per hour and targeted at municipal governments and their contractors.
		The working poor targeted by the minimum wage plan would now have to compete for jobs not only against others willing to work for minimum wage, but also against those with higher skills who are willing to work for $8 an hour, $9 an hour, all the way up to the living wage.

	Product market regulation and wage premia in Europe and North America: an empirical investigation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Hourly wage premia in 2-digit manufacturing and non-manufacturing industries are estimated from detailed data on wage earnings in (or around) 1996 by category of worker (age, sex, education and type of contract) in 12 European and North-American countries.
		The effects of regulation on these wage premia are estimated by panel data regression techniques.
		However, in the latter industries, this effect is offset by a negative effect of legal public monopolies on wage premia.

		We first estimate 2-digit industry premia from 1996 wage earnings data by category of worker (age, sex, education and type of contract) in 10 European countries, the US and Canada.
		Using industry-specific regulation data, we then look at the effects of restrictions to competition and public ownership on wage premia in non-manufacturing industries, where regulatory conditions vary the most and are better documented.
		We show that the hump-shape is consistent with a model of non-pecuniary rent-sharing between workers and a populist public monopolist.

	NCPA - Daily Policy Digest - Employment Effects of Davis-Bacon
		Davis-Bacon increases wage rates by $1, resulting in 146,000 jobs being lost nationwide; this includes the loss of 110, 000 jobs that would have been filled by minority construction workers and less-skilled laborers.
		Because Davis-Bacon Act is equivalent to a 25-cent increase in the mean hourly wage, elimination of the Act would increase the total number of construction jobs nationally by more than 36,000; 27,000 of those jobs would go to minority workers and laborers.
		Thus in addition to removing the inefficiencies induced by wage floors, repealing Davis-Bacon would increase the relative construction employment of minorities and laborers, says Bloch.

	Government wage regulation outdated - 2001-02-05 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Raising the minimum wage is one of those risk-free issues for politicians in the Hawaii Legislature.
		It's also an issue where both the problem -- wages that are too low to survive -- and the impact are ill defined.
		The opponents of a minimum wage increase also are responding with unsubstantiated hyperbole: It would discourage businesses from moving to Hawaii, cause businesses to lay off employees or close entirely and create a domino effect in which pay rates would spiral upward.
