From the OC Register:
“There has been a continuing trickle of studies claiming that a higher minimum wage
may not cause job loss, which have provided fodder to policymakers and others seeking
increases,” David Neumark, UC Irvine Chancellor’s Professor of economics said in a
UCI announcement. “But our new evidence directly addresses this claim and shows that
it is simply not true. Higher minimum wages do destroy jobs.”
