From the OC Register:
David Neumark, an economist at UC Irvine and director of its Center for Economics and Public Policy, said that a 50 percent increase in pay – from $10 to $15 an hour – would go a long way toward boosting the fortunes of the average worker. “That’s $20,000 a year versus $30,000,” Neumark said. “I’d love to live in a world with a $15 minimum wage, but it’s risky.”
