Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Clearly people who are still fortunate enough to hold on to their jobs will experience a rise in their income. Also, minimum wage laws typically cover work done by workers who have lower levels of skill because of youth, inexperience and lack of education and training. The higher wages that they earn makes other workers labor demand rise if it is considered as a substitute for low skilled minimum-wage-protected workers.
