From The Press Enterprise:
University of California President Janet Napolitano should have listened to one of
the school’s professors before raising the minimum wage for UC workers. … A study
… co-authored by David Neumark, UC Irvine Chancellor’s Professor of Economics [says],
“There has been a continuing trickle of studies claiming that a higher minimum wage
may not cause job loss …. but our new evidence directly addresses this claim and shows
that it is simply not true. Higher minimum wages do destroy jobs.”
