From the Washington Examiner:
Despite a Congressional Budget Office report showing that 500,000 low-skilled people could lose their jobs by 2016 due to a higher minimum wage, some insist that raising the minimum wage will not affect employment…Other economists, including University of California, Irvine professor David Neumark, have shown that matters are not so simple. Although minimum-wage workers get front-page news, as well as the attention of politicians who think they are doing workers a favor without increasing the federal budget deficit, fewer than 3 percent of workers make minimum wage. Half of minimum-wage workers are under 25, many of them teens.
