One thing Lang Martinez said he learned after living on the streets of Ventura County, California, was that being homeless was worse than being in prison.
Though Martinez agrees with the conventional wisdom that mental illness and drug abuse are the primary catalysts for homelessness, new academic research suggests the picture is more complicated.
California is home to approximately 30% of the entire U.S. homeless population , and some advocates expressed hope that the new research would “inform a statewide strategy” to combat the problem. Hill’s paper will not be the last word on the relationship between minimum wage laws and homelessness, but it provides yet more evidence of a stubborn reality minimum wage proponents often overlook: Minimum wage laws often harm the very people they are designed to help.
That minimum wage hikes increase unemployment was once hardly a debatable subject among economists, and even today a scouring of the literature shows thatSo in light of this evidence and the more recent UCSF findings, Hill’s conclusion should not surprise us.
