I dont think this article is completely accurate in its correlation between jobs growth and minimum wage. A good way is to look at a country where there are different min wages, such as Canada.
Ontario: 10.25 $/hr -> unemployment 8.3%
Quebec: 9.65 $/hr -> unemployment 7.1%
Manitoba: 9.5 $/hr -> unemplyoment 5.3%
BC: 8.75 $/hr -> unemployment 7.4%
Sask: 8.8 $/hr -> unemployment 4.9%
I could go on but basically the correlation, based on multiple areas doesnt really fly. And that graph is black teens employment? Well obviously thats going to be a weird graph, not all black teens NEED to work minimum wage jobs, if they need to work at all. Baseless.
Apologies, the minimum wage in Saskatchewan is 9.25 not 8.8.
I don’t think you can compare this with the US
