What’s the Right Minimum Wage?

What’s the perfect minimum wage? $10 an hour? $20? $50?

Economist David Henderson explains why it should be “zero.” As Henderson explains, when the state mandates a minimum wage (or an increase), it makes harder for unemployed people to find work and forces business owners to cut the hours of lower-skilled employees.
