Minimum wage--more data showing it's bad

[DBT]

Not if employers actually need workers because the work has to be done and they are unable to do it themselves. Then they are willing to pay.

The data shows the result is unemployment for some of them.

Maybe, maybe not. Sometimes employers protest wage increases by not hiring in the short term yet things tend to even out over the long term.....the work they want done, if it is indeed necessary work, has to be done eventually. Being short staffed can also hurt a business.

As you say, 5.5% increase in total pay. You're missing that it's less than the 6% the goods they sold went up--try to implement this everywhere and the poor are worse off than before you did it.

The article cited said the wages went up twenty percent. I even bolded it for you.

Hourly wages went up 20%--but they lost most of it in having fewer hours.

Wrong. Wages up 20%, employment down 9% means total pay went up about 11%.

You're trying to weasel out of the provided numbers. And you also failed math.

You're trying to weasel out of the provided numbers.

The 20% and 9% are directly from the article, so your claim is absurdly false.

On the other hand, you persist in misinterpreting the phrase “average annual pay in Minnesota fast food restaurants increased 5.5 percent more than in Wisconsin" to mean that the average annual pay in Minnesota fast food restaurants increased by 5.5%. That phrase from the article clearly means that increase in the average annual pay in Minnesota fast food restaurants equals 5.5% + the average annual pay in Wisconsin fast food restaurants. Without knowing the percentage change in total pay in Wisconsin fast food restaurants, it is not possible to make a valid claim about whether the total pay increase in Mn fast food restaurants was larger or smaller than the average price increase.

And you also failed math.

As usual, your claim is unsubstantiated. Show the math if you are able.
