From Reason.com:
In December, the University of California, Irvine economist David Neumark, whose work
has consistently found higher minimum wages to be associated with job losses, concluded
that "a reasonable estimate based on the evidence is that current minimum wages have
directly reduced the number of jobs nationally by about 100,000 to 200,000, relative
to the period just before the Great Recession."
