Ripple Effect /'ri-pul · i-'fekt/
An economic result of a wage mandate increase whereby all wages in a workplace increase (not simply the wages for workers below the mandated level) in order to retain the relative differences between workers of different skill levels. Failing to consider the ripple effect is a primary way that wage mandate supporters underestimate the potential cost of an increase.
