they might have also checked the rate of unemployment against the huge mandated increase in the minimum wage. Unemployment among all groups affected by minimum wage rules, but especially black males and more generally all of the lower income, lower education 18-24 year old group, went up dramatically as a result of the increase. But, of course, any of us opposing such an increase were just evil right wing conservatives.

What most people don't realize is that minimum wages just drive up the cost, so the people being paid are no better off than they were before the raise. The people that don't raise prices to cover the minimum wage just fire some of their staff, or don't new ones when someone quits.

Minimum wages are unconstitutional and should have been stopped long ago.
