I was wondering when you were going to get around to mentioning Seattle
Why didn't you choose one of the many articles that say it's too early to tell or ones that say empirical data shows no signficant impact
There are many of those to choose from
Here is one example: http://www.seattletimes.com/business/economy/a-year-in-the-sky-is-not-falling-from-seattles-minimum-wage-hike/
You're the one who said pick ANY CITY, so I did. I posted an article that told the truth, not one that is to the left of Lenin, that says wait and see, because the facts, the real numbers are abysmal, and will only get worse. It's not just job loss, but also the decline in the "jobs created" category. Seattle had a thriving used book
sector. I know for a fact that it has been decimated job wise. Owners trying to turn workers into "independent contractors," who work only on commission. The used book business ain't gonna pay out huge commissions, and former employees, now independent contractors, are looking to get more roomies, in an already tight rental market.
Caring people ruin everything. They don't have the mental capacity to comprehend the consequences of their emotional legislations.
