GREAT Point On The Minimum-Wage
May 31, 2011
By admin

I wonder how many politicians who have supported a legal minimum-wage over the years, have had their own unpaid interns.

Drs. Caplan & Carden knock this one out of the park.

1. If the minimum wage is a good idea, shouldn’t unpaid internships be illegal as well? If not, why not?

2. Name the main arguments in favor of the legality of unpaid internships. Aren’t all of them equally good arguments for allowing people to work for wages greater than zero and less than the minimum wage?
