The survey's key findings include:

  • 74 percent oppose raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour;
  • 84 percent believe a $15 minimum wage will have negative effects on youth employment;
  • Two-thirds of economists (66 percent) believe that an appropriate federal minimum wage is $10 an hour or less;
  • Just six percent believe a $15 minimum wage is a very efficient means to target individuals in poverty, while 64 percent said the same thing about the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)

And yes I know it’s a very small sample size and the response rate is below the average rate for online surveys.
 
count me in on those that think 10 an hour is about right.
