I’d like to see what actual poverty outcomes look like. Are NHers overall worse off than Mainers or Vermonters because we have a lower minimum wage? Do citizens in states with higher minimum wages have better financial outcomes overall?

AFAIK, NH has among the lowest or the lowest poverty rates in the nation, and as another poster already commented, almost no one makes minimum wage. My McD’s down the street is offering $15+ to start. I just don’t see the need for the state to do anything about it, but I’m also not married to the idea.
