The unemployment rate in Seattle, is still lower than the national average.
And low-wage workers are still making less money than their counterparts across the nation.
Researchers at the University of Washington, who were commissioned by the city, found that when wages went up to $13 in 2016, low-wage workers saw their hours drop by 9%.

Workers ultimately made $125 less each month, on average, the report found.

"For every $1 worth of increased wages, we are seeing $3 worth of lost employment opportunities," said Jacob Vigdor, one of the study's authors.
Nothing increases poverty like idiotic, failed, left-wing policy.

New study casts doubt on the benefit of Seattle's $15 minimum wage
 
The minimum wage worker should merely find another minimum wage employer, with better hours.
I just explained how that wasn’t true. Because you are a low IQ, minimum wage worker, I will explain it to you again...
  • Businesses drastically raise rates to cover drastic increase in labor costs. This causes inflation - and the minimum wage worker is no further ahead than they were before the raise. However, the rest of society is much further behind as they received no raise and now their dollar doesn’t buy nearly as much.
  • Businesses close down over the costs. Less jobs all the way around for the minimum wage worker.
  • Businesses recognize that this is a perpetual, idiotic left-wing fight and that their money would be better spent on automation. Less jobs all the way around for the minimum wage worker.
  • Businesses cuts hours of their minimum wage worker. The minimum wage worker walks away with less money per week than before the increase.

a fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage, is a blueprint for prosperity.
If you were worthy of $15 per hour, you would be able to earn that rate without government forcing someone else to give it to you.

Only fascists achieve their desires through force. Tells us all we need to know about you.
just right wing propaganda.

social services cost around fourteen dollars an hour, by comparison.

Flawed test? A lower unemployment rate means, Labor should simply, "vote with their feet" for any minimum wage jobs in Any decent economy.

Just left-wing parasites not willing to admit that if you were worthy of $15 per hour, you would be able to earn that rate without government forcing someone else to give it to you.

If minimum wage employers are cutting hours of their current employees due to labor costs, they sure as hell aren't going to be hiring additional minimum wage workers. :lmao:

This is why nobody takes the left seriously about economics (or anything else for that matter).

Who's fault is it, they cannot make like Henry Ford and double autoworker wages instead of whining about having to double, minimum wages.

Why shouldn't capitalists who can Only make it on cheap labor, fail?

You make it seem like minimum wage jobs should not be plentiful, in Any "booming right wing economy".

why is the unemployment rate so low?

It is your fault...since you are stripping the free market away from them. Especially when you have absolutely no authority to do so.

Well for starters, Henry Ford wasn’t paying into Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare, and the highest corporate tax rates in the world.

Additionally, Henry Ford did that on his own. Of his own free will. Without government coercion. You just made the ultimate case for why they shouldn’t have minimum wage forced on them. Oops.
 
Flawed test?
It wasn’t a “test”, snowflake. It was the actual results of failed left-wing policy.
seems like right wing propaganda and rhetoric
Key word - seems. As you are a low IQ, minimum wage worker, I’m sure a lot of things that are not seem as though they are. But the reality is, the results show that progressive policy took low-wage workers and forced them into a situation where they brought home even less. Just like Venezuela.

We have a mixed market economy and always have; any more, red herrings?

The point is, If one Capitalist could do, it; it Must be an Individual problem not an Institutional problem.
