Just my own experience traveling through America. Go to a small mountain town and look at the prices in the restaurants and supermarkets, and the local real estate. There's no way that enough money is flowing to pay everyone $15/hour, nor do you need that much to live there. I do wish I had something more rigorous to give you. I am pretty sure I am not the first to make this argument though.
