Proportion and Characteristics of Minimum Wage Workers
Notes: Panel A is reproduced from Figure 2 in Autor, Manning, and Smith (2016) (© American Economic Association; reproduced with permission of the American Economic Journal: Applied Economics’). In Panel B, less-educated workers are those with a high school degree or less, and young workers are those aged 24 years or younger.

Inequality Measures
Notes: The conditional quantile function Qst(τ|z) is an inverse of Fst(w|z), where Fst(·|z) is the conditional distribution function of wist given zist = z in state s and year t.

Changes in the Educational Wage Differential (16 vs. 12 Years of Education) Due to the Minimum Wage, 1989—2012
Notes: Bar charts represent national means. Error bars represent maximum and minimum values. The log-point changes in the educational wage differential due to the minimum wage are obtained from Equation 7.

Actual and Counterfactual Changes in the Educational Wage Differential (16 vs. 12 Years of Education), 1989–2012
Notes: National means are reported. Counterfactual log-point changes in the educational wage differential are obtained using Equations 6 and 7.

Changes in the Experience Wage Differential (25 vs. 5 Years of Experience) Due to the Minimum Wage, 1989-2012
Notes: Bar charts represent national means. Error bars represent maximum and minimum values. The log-point changes in the experience wage differential due to the minimum wage are obtained from Equation 7.

Changes in the 90/10, 50/10, and 50/20 Within-Group Differentials Due to the Minimum Wage, 1989–2012
Notes: Bar charts represent national means. Error bars represent maximum and minimum values. The log-point changes in the within-group wage differentials due to the minimum wage are obtained from Equation 9.
