NH Mean Hourly Wages: Proof That Less Government Interference Equals More Income?

This graphic below comes from a NH Employment Security and NH Economic and Labor Market Information Bureau Report.  It’s a map.  Don’t you love maps?  This one depicts the most current hourly wage data available for New Hampshire – a state with the lowest poverty rate in the nation and that only enforces the federal minimum wage of 7.25/hour.   Democrats want to double the minimum wage without regard to the economic consequences.

But I’m open minded.  Find a state that mandates a higher minimum wage than New Hampshire and has less poverty,  lower unemployment, better health outcomes,  higher quality of life, and higher average annual income, and I’ll reconsider my position.  (Hint: You wont.)  So what are Democrats really after?
