The Only 6 States With at Least a $10-Per-Hour Minimum Wage
"The real minimum wage is zero."
-- Thomas Sowell
Economist Thomas Sowell may technically be right, but a wage of zero would attract few job applicants and would not support any workers very well. Thus, employers have to offer more than zero.
