Abstract

Surveys on two sets of employers in the same community in the United States is conducted to study the reason as to why some contractors oppose for living wage ordinances (LWOs) while others do not. It is suggested that contractors oppose such ordinances either because they are incapable of realizing efficiency gains or for purely ideological reasons.
