The Impact of Minimum Wages on Unemployment Duration: Estimating the Effects Using the Displaced Worker SurveyRoberto PedaceClaremont Colleges, Scripps College - Department of Economics Stephanie RohnUniversity of Southern California May 19, 2010 Abstract: This paper examines the impact of minimum wages on unemployment duration. Our estimates suggest that higher minimum wages are associated with shorter unemployment duration for older males and those with at least a high school diploma, but longer unemployment spells for male high school dropouts and females who are older and in lower-skilled occupations. The results are consistent with other studies in generating concerns about the distributional impact of minimum wages.
