From the WSJ:
[David] Neumark, economics professor and director of the Center for Economics and
Public Policy at the University of California, Irvine [writes]: Economists point to
a crucial question: Will a higher minimum wage reduce the number of jobs for the country’s
least skilled workers? President Obama says “there is no solid evidence that a higher
minimum wage costs jobs.” On the contrary, a full and fair reading of the evidence
shows the opposite. Raising the minimum wage will cost jobs, particularly those held
by the least-skilled.
