although more money would be payed, it would not be enough to support the poor and total unemployment will increase since there is a gap between the equilibrium point with the higher wage price level and the equilibrium with the demand curve.
"The minimum wage increases in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Montana, Ohio, Oregon, Vermont and Washington will be 28 cents to 37 cents an hour, according to the National Employment Law Project."

If Carbon becomes more expensive, this reduces the number of firms which still can afford the price and therefore leads to reducing the amount of Carbon.
This can be explained to support why when an economy is in recession, it has a similar impact as minimum price has. In addition, this also has a negative affect on the government who has the benefit of minimum price since then they are able to collect the money. Therefore this reduces the intention of the government to set a minimum price since they would have less benefit when the economy is in a recession.
