Abstract

The primary purpose of this study was to determine: 1. the effect of the increasing minimum wage on the placement of cooperative education students; 2. whether the increase would result in reduced retention of the regular number of cooperative education students employed; 3. whether any on cooperative education program was affected more than the others with regard to the increase in the minimum wage.
