The current minimum wage is $7.25/hr.

How much does a minimum wage employee make per week if they work 40 hours in a week?

The CBO estimates that unemployment would increase by 0.3%, which is the same as saying the average worker would get 0.3% fewer hours. How many hours would a worker who got 40 hours/week at the old, lower minimum wage get at the new, higher minimum wage if their boss cut their hours by 0.3% (round to one decimal place).

If minimum wage is raised to $10.10 per hour (that's the 39% increase the CBO studied), how much would the worker from question 1 make in a week if they got the number of hours of work you calculated for question 2? (round to the nearest whole dollar)

What if the worker from question 1 is really unlucky, and raising the minimum wage causes to them to lose 10 hours/week of work?

If minimum wage is raised to $10.10 per hour, and the worker's hours were cut to 30 hours per week, how much would the worker make in a week?

How many hours would have to get cut from the worker's schedule before they were worse off with the higher minimum wage? (in whole hours)

NOTE: Normal rounding doesn't work here, because you are looking for the number of hours lost that causes the worker to make less money than before the wage increase.

Question 5 - How many hours would have to get cut from the worker's schedule before they were worse off with the higher minimum wage? (in whole hours) NOTE: Normal rounding doesn't work here, because you are looking for the number of hours lost that causes the worker to make less money than before the wage increase.
