	Wage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Depending on the structure and traditions of different economies around the world, wage rates are either primarily market-driven (the USA) or influenced by other factors such as tradition, social structure and seniority, as in Japan.
		Several countries have enacted a statutory minimum wage rate in an attempt to prevent the (some say supposed) exploitation of low-paid workers.
		In the United States, wages for most workers are set by market forces, or else by collective bargaining, where a labor union negotiates on workers' behalf.

	Minimum wage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The costs and benefits arising from minimum wages are subject to considerable disagreement among economists, though the consensus among economics textbooks is that minimum wage laws should be avoided whenever possible as the costs exceed the benefits.
		The traditional view that minimum wages have significant negative effects on employment is straightforward if one assumes that labor markets for low-skill workers can be characterized as fitting the model of a perfectly competitive market, where the only role of wages is as a cost.
		The first attempt at establishing a minimum wage in the United States came in 1933, when a $.25-per-hour standard was set as part of the National Recovery Act.

	Living Wage Overview (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The living wage movement is the creation of the grass-roots activist group "Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now" (ACORN) to elevate the hourly wage rate for low-wage workers substantially higher than the current federal minimum of $5.15 an hour.
		Figure 2.) The main aspect of the ordinances is their wage rate, which in 2002 averaged $10.20 per hour: 198 percent of the federal minimum wage.
		The calculations shown here suggest that instead of higher wage minimums, poor families would benefit more from expanded opportunities to work at their current wage level and from policies that encourage family cohesion and formation of extended family and multi-family households to increase the ratio of earners to non-earners in low income households.

		An issue related to that of a minimum wage is a growing movement for a "living wage." Living wage proposals suggest that the existing minimum wage is too low to allow families to exceed the poverty level.
