TEACHING TOOLS: WHY WORKERS SHOULD WANT MANDATED BENEFITS TO LOWER THEIR WAGES
解释了强制雇主提供福利并非员工的免费午餐，经济学家早已认识到这些福利的成本会通过降低工资转嫁给员工，但员工为福利支付得越多，他们从福利中获益也越多。

Despite the claims of some advocates of mandated benofts, economists have long recognized that much of the cost of those benefifs is passed on to employees in lower wages. What has gone unrecognized is that the more employees pay fir a mandated bentefit relative to its cost the more they gain from having the benefit provided.
