It may. Buy are those issues worse than the current issues?

I don't think so — especially if you are inclined to look at countries where the minimum wage is close to (or above) the living wage.

That's what I consider the correct way to think about this. So do you have thought on what metrics you'd use to measure the net effect?

One of the nagging facts that bothers me is that, even as we see increases in minimum wage, there seems to be certain segments of society (particularly young men) who are disproportionately dropping out of the labor pool.
