ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Opponents of raising the minimum wage in Maryland highlighted a study released Monday that examines some of the economic downsides an increase could have on small businesses, particularly in food services and the hospitality industry.
The study by George Mason University economist Stephen Fuller was released in Annapolis, a day before a scheduled hearing on a proposal to raise the minimum wage in Maryland from $7.25 to $10.10 by 2016.
