Wrap: A right-leaning think-tank reported that 190,000 Missouri jobs would be lost if a 15 dollar federal minimum wage passed by 2021.

The Heritage Foundation estimated that about 7 million jobs nationwide would be lost with a federal wage increase.

The report said that "Efforts to create jobs and reduce poverty should not center on forcing employers to pay higher starting wages."

While the effects a 15 dollar increase are not well-researched, a group of 600 economists wrote to Congress asking for a gradual increase to 10 dollars and 10 cents.
