In pooled analysis including both treated states (Table 2), following repeal, there was a statistically significant 4.7–percentage point (β = 0.05; 95% CI, 0.01-0.08; P = .01) increase in labor force participation among people with cognitive disabilities in the 2 states repealing Section 14(c) compared with its synthetic control.
Contexto
What changed: New Hampshire (2015) and Maryland (2016) repealed FLSA Section 14(c), ending subminimum wages for workers with disabilities. Comparison: Synthetic control group constructed from non-repealing US states using synthetic difference-in-differences. Limits: Cognitive disability was proxied via ACS self-reported difficulty remembering or concentrating rather than clinical diagnostic records; individual transition trajectories could not be observed.
