FOR:

  • increased income for workers
  • more workers attracted to the workforce
  • less strain on federal resources for those in poverty

Against

  • more costly for businesses
  • possible unemployment due to job automation
  • higher prices for consumers.

Here are some basic arguments. You will need to explain these a bit more for your assignment though.
