Here comes another study from UCal - Irvine showing that for each $1/hour the minimum wage is raised, the poverty rate increases by 3%. This tracks pretty consistently with a University of Washington study on the same subject a few years ago when Seattle raised its minimum wage to $15/hour. Coincidentally (not), Seattle is now #3 in the nation for homeless people. Wonder how that could have happened?
