Thanks, those are a bit better, though still single opinions. I guess I am looking more for a survey of economists opinions. What was interesting about Krugman's piece was that he said minimum wage used to not work, but now it might due to changes in the economy, which is surprising if true. To me, neither one was a resounding affirmation of minimum wage, both said that $15 did not seem to hurt, and might help slightly.
