re: Study: States that raised minimum wage had stronger job growth

I would honestly be interested in the methodology.


I'd like to learn of the circumstances and would be open minded.

But, I do know that stats are like bikinis. What they reveal is interesting...what they hide is VITAL.,




I'd want to know if the states that raised the wage rate were in a situation where job growth was strong, anyway.

I know that at my office, the pay rate is increasing because the demand is there, etc. So, the job-growth fueled the ability to raise pay. Not the other way around.


Again, I'd be willing to learn more about this "study". If it is simply a "survey" type (count the jobs, etc)...then it is inadequate to really get insight. There should be controls for other factors, etc.
