There aren't.  The increases were at the higher income levels.  Not the
"lower."  Only at the *very* bottom was there an increase.  All other
lower income levels showed a drop in population, and *all* higher
income levels showed increases in population.  I don't know what flavor
of berntard koolaid you've been drinking, but you really need to chase
it with a math class or two.

Abolish the minimum wage and this economy would go crazy with expansion.
Raise it to $15 and watch the jobs dry up.
