I think you need to adjust the income distribution basis the localities. A twenty-five thousand dollar household income in Oklahoma is considerably different than the similar income in California, Washington D.C., or New York. You'd also need to factor in the impacts of TIPs in the large number of jobs affected by the minimum wage.

The following study is from the Fed:

For the same reasons as the federal min wage, I don't support the EITC as a broad-brush that benefits a lot of unintended people in trying to help a target political group. I think it would be fairer to gradually increase the minimum wage over time rather than these stepwise increases.
