Allowing states to set their own minimum wages creates opportunities for policy experimentation. This can lead to valuable insights into the effects of wage changes on employment and economic growth, providing a rich data set from which all states can learn and adapt their strategies.

Granting states the authority to determine their minimum wage fosters a competitive environment that can drive innovation in policy-making. This competition can lead to the development of more effective and creative solutions to poverty and unemployment, benefiting workers and the economy alike.
