peer review is vastly overrated and you know it.

More important point is that his findings not only back up his decades of past research, they confirm an innumerable amount of other min wage studies.

You must have skipped over this part of the article.

The study also reviewed a third federal initiative: the Earned Income Tax Credit that effectively subsidizes work, giving low-income earners a refundable tax credit. The study did not find evidence that the EITC lowered poverty over the long run, although that finding depended on the exact specification of the model used. In Neumark’s other research, he has found strong positive effects of the tax credit.

Seems about right that someone who thinks peer review is overrated likes to form his opinions from reading Washington Examiner articles that say absolutely nothing about the methodology of the study.
