Report: states with higher minimum wages have gained more jobs

States with higher minimum wage gain more jobs

The evidence continues to pile up that republicans are wrong on this issue. This only has positive implications.

 

[OnePercenter]

Because more people can afford to buy stuff.

Some economists argue that six months of data isn't enough to draw conclusions.

"It's too early to tell," said Stan Veuger, a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute. "These states are very different along all kinds of dimensions."

For example, the number of jobs in North Dakota — which didn't raise the minimum wage and has prospered because of a boom in oil and gas drilling — rose 2.8% since the start of this year, the most of any state.

But job growth in the aging industrial state of Ohio was just 0.7% after its minimum rose to $7.95 from $7.85. The federal minimum wage is $7.25.

Clearly, Ohio (John Boner's home state) didn't raise the minimum wage enough. It needs to be at least $15.00 per hour before any results are seen.

Of course, if they wanted to truly elevate themselves on the playing field, they could just ban money and institute communism. Then real economic prosperity would kick in.

In the 13 states that boosted their minimums at the beginning of the year, the number of jobs grew an average of 0.85% from January through June. The average for the other 37 states was 0.61%.

How can anyone call either stat a success?

Can you show a direct link to those two "facts"....or did Harry Reid tell you that?

Didn't you read blackhawk's post above yours? North Dakota has an effective minimum wage of around $15/hour not because it was mandated, but because jobs are abundant. The minimum wage tail ain't gonna wag the jobs dog.

Great more minimum wage jobs, instead of unemployment, we have under employment. Who could ask for more!

In North Dakota they didn't raise it all and they did the best of any state the point of course which all the partisans will miss is the impact of raising the minimum wage will vary from state to state.

If the jobs aren't there, it doesn't matter what wage is paid.

This is in line with the chinaman post and so many others. Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill or searching for the least significant facts to gin up another discussion about something that has been over covered on USMB.lets see,could we have a margin of error here, or maybe different forms of calibration. How about maybe the law doesn't go into effect til later and businesses are getting a few employees grandfathered before it does? Hey maybe one state accounts for the difference. .2 per cent wooptedoo. I know, maybe all the unemployed moved to ohio to get that extra .70, yes that's it, the majority of illegal aliens moved to the higher min wage states not only to get higher paying jobs, but better welfare too. Damn, we did come to an earth shattering conclusion after all.

It's called "statistically insignificant"

Or maybe its because those states lost more jobs in the past, and are making it back to the zero line quicker than states that are already ABOVE the zero line.

But what is telling about this article is that it shows raising the wage does not COST jobs. Whether or not raising the wage produces job growth is what is debateable.

Raising minimum wages effects current jobs as well as potential job growth.

With respect to current jobs, higher minimum wages effects employers.

Higher minimum wages also effects potential employers.

Raise employment and increased wages will follow suit.

Raise wages and jobs will suffer.

The same prosperity every communist state has produced? Cuba, Russia, Venezuala kind of prosperity? These are the good times you look forward to starving under?

Hey stupid, we need job growth.

 

[ScienceRocks]

Maybe because people want to work if it is a livable wage? Heck, why not go into SSD if you're not going to be paid enough????

Dumb repubdupes!

Hey, dipshit! Paying higher wages makes people want to work and increases demand. Learn economics!

You better learn the difference between a social democracy and a communist state. Something tells me you're lacking an education.

Communism doesn't allow for a private sector or free elections. Shit holes like Southeast Asia and central America allows its rich to completely **** over the poor like you wish for us.
