Sam on the impact of an increase in the minimum wage on the local economy

In this podcast Sam discusses the minimum wage and how a change would affect the Dayton area. He interviewed Kerry Taylor, a Dayton expert in economic development, a local area expert who understands how the Dayton economy would be affected by a minimum wage increase. This topic ended up being very interesting to research, and Sam learned a lot about how the issue really isn't as black and white as politicians would have us believe.
