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?
