Proposals to exempt tipped income from federal taxes have emerged as candidates use competing economic proposals in areas like tariffs and taxes to vie for the votes of different constituencies.

In Nevada , the tip-heavy hospitality industry still comprises more than a fifth of jobs.

"I don't think you'd see really huge impacts.. It is a pretty person-to-person kind of thing," an economist says.

Both candidates see their proposals as a way to improve the economic standing of low-wage workers.

Brookings Institution : "Exempting tips from taxation does nothing to help most low-income workers" Economists would look for evidence of how behavior changed by employers if workers got a "raise" through the tax exemption.
