Do you know where I can find the study itself?

I mean, it flat out admits it's unscientific, so it's a little hard to take this as "proof" that the minimum wage doesn't hurt job growth. Yet it seems that plenty on the left in this thread accept it out of hand and plenty on the right in this thread reject it out of hand without even looking at how the study was conducted.

I found it.

This isn't a study at all. It's just comparing rates of growth in states that raised the minimum wage to states that didn't. It is entirely correlational and involves no scientific analysis. To call this a "study" at all is highly misleading and bordering on preposterous.
