Abstract

• Agriculture is a good sector to learn from when considering a national minimum wage because: – It is historically a low-wage sector – It has been shedding jobs – It is enormously diverse – A minimum wage was introduced recently (2003) – The outcomes have partly contradicted predictions, especially since the 50% increase in 2013.
