Assesses how well living wage and minimum wage regulations in the United States serve the workers they are intended to help. Provides an overview of living wage and minimum wage implementation in Louisiana, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Massachusetts, and Connecticut to show how these policies play out in the paychecks of workers, in the halls of legislature, and in business ledgers.
