Raising State Minimum Wages, Lowering Community College Enrollment
研究发现，最低工资上涨导致公立两年制大学（社区大学）的入学率显著下降，尤其是非全日制学生，但对证书或学位获得影响不大。
Abstract Changes in the minimum wage may impact college enrollment and educational attainment. Using institutional data on college enrollment and program completion, we find that enrollment falls markedly among students at public two-year institutions in response to increases in the minimum wage. The largest enrollment effects are seen for those students who are enrolled part-time at community colleges. We find little evidence of negative effects on the attainment of certificates or degrees, suggesting that increases in the minimum wage are unlikely to divert students from degree attainment.
