This “study” is pure, 100%, unadulturated CRAP
Use Common Core math and you can make it work.
Perhaps the minimum wage rate hasn’t caught up with the market rate?
I haven’t read the report, but what percentasge of wage earners are paid at the miminum wage - less than 5%?
That could influence the lack of effect on overall payrolls.
Union contracts are tied to the minimum wage.
Good Point- this is a stupid study. Obama plays the same game when he makes statements that increasing the Minimum wage does not have widespread impact on unemployment. This is true, but unfortunately, increasing the minimum wage has the most serve and DIRECT impact on the people increasing the minimum wage is supposed to help.
Selection bias.
Further to my post #10 as repeated here: “Just like the Democrats unfunded mandates are intended to tie up State funds to cause the States to be more vulnerable to Federal financial assistance, manipulation, and ultimately control, so is the Democrats minimum wage scheme.
Be minimum wage Democrat instigators Federal, or State it doesn’t matter as it’s always the Democrats, and their intent is to assault capitalism by driving up costs.”
I would like to point out that it’s NOT unlike the Cloward-Piven scheme.
