This paper points out the irony in minimum wages. Minimum wages are set to help out the lower class and low-wage earning laborers, however net effect of minimum wages actually had adverse effects on low-wage workers. This paper illustrates a too frequent scenario in which a worker who earns near minimum wage experiences an increase in pay as a result of increased minimum wage. However, despite his gain in pay the worker is negativley effected by the change in minimum wage because he will experience a great decline in the hours he is employed.
