California’s latest move to sabotage its low-wage workers

From the National Review:
Research by economists David Neumark of the University of California, Irvine, William
Wascher of the Federal Reserve Board, and Mark Schweitzer of the Cleveland Fed shows
that minimum-wage policies can increase poverty (PDF), so poverty reduction certainly
shouldn’t be expected as a benefit of raising the minimum wage. That’s because while
a minimum-wage increase raises the wages of some people, it also reduces employment
of young, low-skilled people.
