The minimum-wage-hiker-in-chief will not be happy this morning. Former Obama administration economist Alan Krueger has some choice words for the hope-filled living-wage seekers of America:
- *KRUEGER SAYS WORKERS NEED TO ‘RATCHET DOWN WAGE EXPECTATIONS’
Isn’t it odd how quickly the views of ethical economists change once they have tenure and the shackles of government-servitude are removed. We don’t remember hearing Krueger arguing that a ‘fair’ wage is a little much to expect in the current environment.
It would appear Mr. Krueger should stop being cynical and just get hopey.
