In an article by The Editorial Board (2018), California’s statewide minimum wage is set to be increased by 2022, amounting to $15. Politicians believe that implementing this measure will act as a great strategy to boost economically disadvantaged families. However, Irvine economists David Neumark and Britanny Bass, together with National Bureau of Economic Research Brian Asquith, revealed that hiking the minimum wage would instead create more consequences than positive outcomes. The researchers concluded that implementing programs dedicated to providing welfare benefits or higher wages cannot reduce the poverty rate in the state. Pieces of evidence point out that wage hikes will force firms and businesses to cut jobs, resulting in layoffs or job losses (The Editorial Board, 2018). Although increasing the minimum wage would create an improved cost of living, the adverse impacts outweigh the advantages of the process. For instance, several repercussions would result in raising the minimum wage. These factors would include economic inflation, which means firms and businesses become less competitive.
