How A $15 Minimum Wage Would Affect Arizona

Arizona is often considered a place with a low cost of living, but the Pew Research Center decided to look at where a dollar stretches the most and least.

The group looked at the much-discussed $15-an-hour minimum wage and then mapped where workers would get the most bang for their buck.

The numbers are from 2013, but they show in much of Arizona that $15 would be worth more than that.

For more on this, we turn to Kelly McGowan, Deputy Director of the Arizona Community Action Association.
