From Fortune:
According to David Neumark, Director of the Center for Economics & Public Policy and
UC Irvine, however, “We know that minimum wages reduce employment more the higher
the minimum wage is relative [to the average prevailing wage].” That means that big
minimum wage hikes like we’re seeing in Seattle and L.A. are likely to lead to greater
job losses than more measured increases.
