You've confused mean and median there, but the point I was making is that a $15 minimum in Santa Clara county, with a median wage of $29.20 will have a far different impact than in Fresno with a median wage of $16.10. And that's just in California.
This about the impact of a minimum that affects nearly HALF of all workers in an area. It's absurd to think that this will not cause serious disemployment effects.
(Nationally, median hourly wage is $18.12)
