Does increasing the minimum wage lead to higher prices?

    Historically, minimum wage increases were large, one-shot changes imposed with little advance notice for businesses.

    But many recent state and city-level minimum wage increases have been scheduled to be implemented over time and often are indexed to some measure of price inflation.

    These small, scheduled minimum wage hikes seem to have smaller effects on prices than large, one-time increases.
