The minimum wage increases that started four years ago in Seattle are spreading across the country, but economists continue to study — and disagree about — the impact.
The latest look at increased wage floors in six U.S. cities, including Seattle, finds that food-service workers saw increases in pay and no widespread job losses. That reinforces the conclusions the same group of University of California, Berkeley, researchers reached in 2017 after studying just in Seattle.
This time, the Berkeley researchers examined Seattle; San Francisco; Oakland, California; San Jose, California; Chicago; and Washington, D.C., where minimum wages at the end of 2016 ranged from $10 to $13.
"We find that they are working just as the policymakers and voters who enacted these policies intended," said Sylvia Allegretto, co-author of the report and co-chair of Berkeley's Center on Wage and Employment Dynamics. "So far they are raising the earnings of low-wage workers without causing significant employment losses."

No doctors, no meds, no drugs, licit or otherwise. Still the same old asocial asshole. This asshole has always had a problem with sons of bitches who think they are better than anyone else. Typical shit from a Californian, if you should have a disagreement with him: "How much money do YOU make? I make six times that much, which settles the argument." If I had a dollar for everytime I've heard something like that, I could buy a nice steak dinner, with drinks.
I'm sure I've mentioned here that I have very few superiors. I do meet one now and then. Often enough, my superiors have worked in fields that are exempt from minimum wage.
Now, don't let ANY of that go to your head. Just 'cause you enjoy making bagels doesn't make you superior to anything at all.
