Founded in 2007, the Center on Wage and Employment Dynamics (CWED) is nationally recognized for its trailblazing research on the impact of minimum and subminimum wage policies, as well as the effects of the Great Recession, public sector workers, low-wage labor markets, teacher pay, and the emerging gig economy.
“CWED has accumulated an impressive body of sound empirical work on the minimum wage and other topics. It is not surprising that the CWED researchers are often consulted by policymakers on Capitol Hill and elsewhere.”
