Discuss the economic arguments for and against the minimum wage. Include in your paper an original graph showing the impact of the minimum wage on the labor market. This graph can be hand drawn or drawn using a graphing application, but it must be your own work and not a cut and paste from another source. Your paper should include a discussion of the graph. The paper must present both sides of the debate. The goal of the paper is to incorporate economic analysis and economic reasoning applied to the topic of the paper. It is best to think of this paper as a long essay, rather than a research paper. You can certainly use outside sources in the paper, but the submission should be in your own words, and the analysis should be your own.
