From the NYT:
Others, like David Neumark, an economist at the University of California, Irvine who
has long emphasized the costs of minimum wage increases, argue that it would be far
more efficient to help lift people out of poverty using wage subsidies like the earned-income
tax credit than to rely on the minimum wage, which frequently helps workers in families
whose incomes are already above the poverty level.
