I teach economics. If any of my freshmen students were to submit to me a paper on the minimum wage as full of errors as the New York Times’s recent plea for a New York statewide minimum of $15 per hour, those students would receive a solid “F.” Fortunately, my students’ knowledge of economics is vastly superior to that of the Gray Lady’s editorialists.

Raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour has nothing to do with economics – it has everything to do with making liberals feel smug. Economists can argue all they want about detroying entry level jobs, hurting younger workers, hurting unskilled workers, the cost/benefit of automation vs. hiring additional workers, productivty analysis, etc. etc., but all a liberal hears is “la, la, la, la.”
