From the New York Times:
Michael Reich … said in a recent interview that it would be disingenuous to suggest
that the potential costs of raising the minimum could never outweigh the economic
benefits. “We don’t know at what point that kicks in,” he said. “We know that hasn’t
happened at 50 percent or 55 percent.” (Other minimum-wage scholars, like David Neumark
of the University of California, Irvine, believe this happens much sooner.)
