A number of states and cities have issued minimum wage hikes in the past couple of years. With minimum wage hikes starting to gain momentum, Goldman Sachs analyst Matthew Fassler addressed the issue every investor has on his or her mind: Which companies could be hit hardest by a potential federal minimum wage of $15/hour?
