States with higher minimum wage gain more jobs

Many business groups argue that raising the minimum wage discourages job growth by increasing the cost of hiring. A Congressional Budget Office report earlier this year lent some support for that view. It found that a minimum wage of $10.10 an hour, as President Obama supports, could cost 500,000 jobs nationwide.

But the state-by-state hiring data, released Friday by the Labor Department, provides ammunition to those who disagree. Economists who support a higher minimum say the figures are encouraging, though they acknowledge they don't establish a cause and effect. There are many possible reasons hiring might accelerate in a particular state.

People will work if you pay them more. More money means bills are paid, less debt, and more put back into the economy.
 
Increase the min wage by ten times and watch things soar!
Correlation is not causality. xxxxxxxxx

RWs prefer that people be on welfare.

Better yet, let them starve.

Washington has no income tax. It's also heavily benefited from the tech industry.

You've misquoted. It's "Let them die".

After the damage Republicans caused the country over the last 20 years, Democrats are all that's saved us.
Uh, do you want examples? There are lots.
al Qaeda is jealous of the GOP. They tried so hard to damage this nation and the GOP does it for fun with hardly any effort.

Nice job finding a headline you like but in the body of the article it clearly states it's all wishful thinking.

Democrats are responsible for racial segregation; unstructured families and the subsequent social demise; failed economy due to green energy fascism; failed foreign policy; and welfare mentality (like forced minimum wages) that inhibits economic growth and encourages social apathy. That's just a few.
So, where does the money for your minimum wage hikes come from? You still haven't answered. Until you supply the correct answer you should not be allowed to vote.

Hmm, which administration has seen the highest growth in government dependency in history? Yup, that would be the Democrats.
They need to because that's the only way they can attract votes.

Correlation is not causality. Repeat that 10 times and go kill yourself.

Is that necessary? Are we not adults?
Clearly not. Children see one thing and then another and assume the one thing caused the other. Liberals are about the same.
You can't look at two datapoints and draw any meaningful conclusion given the myriad circumstances that impinge on it.
