[quote=EconProf]We economists are largely in agreement about raising the minimum wage: it will kill jobs.
The recently proposed mild increase in the federal minimum wage would cost about a half-million jobs, according to federal officials.
But the huge jump to $13.09 for San Diego only would have a far more powerful impact on employment within our city limits.[/quote]
Also, I think referring to yourself as “we economists” is a wee bit of a stretch.
