I’m sure there’s a chart that could correlate rising minimum wage with rising unemployment.
Economist Thomas Sowell On The Minimum Wage
“Unfortunately, the real minimum wage is always zero, regardless of the laws, and that is the wage that many workers receive in the wake of the creation or escalation of a government mandated minimum wage, because they either lose their jobs or fail to find jobs when they enter the labor force.”
I have posted it many times. These minimum wage fights are excellent opportunities to bring up the Democratic party’s role in the unemployment situation. They are quick to blame Bush even still but slow to recignize their own complicity. Each time they have raised the min wage since taking control of congress in 2006, the unemployment rate has increased and now here we are at 8.9% talking about doing it again.
