There you go straw, not that you will take an objective look at it
great job dipshit
out of the "plenty of studies" you claimed existed you can't locate one the looks at actual effects of increase in the minimum wage in reality
all you can find is a single study of "projections" by the CBO who we all know can be wildly innacurate
Here is an example of REALITY which I had previously posted (in this thread and others) looking back at the effects of raising the minimum wage in Washington starting in 1998. That's plenty of time for us to collect data and observe the actual effects.
Highest Minimum-Wage State Washington Beats U.S. in Job Creation
When Washington residents voted in 1998 to raise the state’s minimum wage and link it to the cost of living, opponents warned the measure would be a job-killer. The prediction hasn’t been borne out.
In the 15 years that followed, the state’s minimum wage climbed to $9.32 -- the highest in the country. Meanwhile job growth continued at an average 0.8 percent annual pace, 0.3 percentage point above the national rate. Payrolls at Washington’s restaurants and bars, portrayed as particularly vulnerable to higher wage costs, expanded by 21 percent. Poverty has trailed the U.S. level for at least seven years.
What happened to your simplistic supply and demand chart in Washington. Maybe they don't know about supply and demand in Washington
They've had 15 years of "job killing" higher wages. I assume it's only a matter of time before the "job killing" kicks in and we all get to laugh at them for being so stupid.
How about you go back to those "plenty of studies" you claim to know about and find one that looks back at the actual observed effects in the economy when a state or city has implemented higher minimum wages
