Effects of Minimum Wage Legislation
通过调查英国马术行业雇主，发现相当比例的受访者对最低工资立法持正面态度，这与传统认为最低工资对小企业不利的观点相反，反映了小企业部门的多样性。
This article explores the consequences of minimum wage legislation on small businesses, focusing specifically on the case of the equestrian sector in the UK. This was done by means of a survey of employers, rather than trying to discern impacts from existing national survey data. The survey revealed that, contrary to conventional wisdom regarding the negative effects of minimum wages on smaller firms, a sizeable proportion of respondents were favourably inclined to such measures. This would reflect the diversity of the small business sector, and highlights the need for further research in this area.
