To repeat, any business that depends on paying poverty wages and being subsidized by taxpayers is a ty business.
why was that?

LOL mad that you take orders from "the man" and anyone who drives-thru. Shut the up already and continue beating off to your Hitler posters as you jab and stab innocent woodland creatures with home-made scalpels you demented weirdo.
Is Seattle’s Minimum Wage Boost Costing Jobs, or Isn’t It?
Economic policy analysts have pushed back against a recent study charging Seattle's minimum wage hike has cost jobs and pay for some workers.
One research team found no evidence of job loss—in keeping with most other minimum wage research. The other suggests pay hikes cost Seattle workers an average of $125 per month. Neither study was peer reviewed. And critics say one study’s methods are superior to the other’s.
The Berkeley economists focused on Seattle’s food industry, analyzing employment figures before and after the minimum wage increase. They found wages rose, as expected, indicating employers were complying with the new pay scale.
They uncovered no evidence of job loss in the city’s restaurants—even as pay for workers in large establishments climbed from $9.47 an hour in January 2015 to $11 in April 2015 to $13 in January 2016 .
Finding no evidence of job loss was in keeping with the “lion’s share of rigorous academic minimum wage research studies,”
This research, published as a National Bureau of Economic Research working paper, suggests Seattle workers experienced a slight decline in overall pay due to fewer work hours.
The two studies used different approaches. The University of Washington study included hours and earnings for workers in all industries.
The University of California research concentrated on the food service industry, which is a common data source for minimum wage studies.
Critics point to several shortcomings in the University of Washington research, saying the researchers used flawed study methods that proved insufficient to tease out the effect of the minimum wage from a hot local job market.
Seattle’s unemployment rate is 3.2 percent.
And when the University of Wash*ing*ton economists focused on the food industry, they found no adverse employment ef*fects—the same as the Berkeley study,
Sachs called the findings from the University of Washington study an outlier.
“Our best explanation for the study’s outsized findings is that the statistical techniques employed were not capable of isolating the effects of the minimum wage from a range of other simultaneous changes in the Seattle labor market,”
Angela Stowell, owner of Ethan Stowell Restaurants, which operates 14 restaurants in the Seattle area, told the New York Times it’s too soon to judge the effect of the city minimum wage ordinance. She said
the chain hasn’t cut back on hiring, despite having to pay a higher minimum wage, but has raised some menu prices and adopted a 20 percent service charge.
University of Washington looked at the interplay of consumer prices and Seattle’s minimum wage, and found
“little or no evidence” that Seattle grocery stores, restaurants, and retailers were raising prices, despite having to pay employees the new minimum wage.
62 percent of Seattle employers in the survey initially told researchers they expected to raise prices.
But when the University of Washington team analyzed actual prices, they found the threatened price increases failed to materialize.
Meanwhile, a statewide minimum wage increase in Arizona, which went into effect in January, hasn’t quashed hiring in the restaurant industry.
The number of people working in restaurants and bars in March increased at a rate six times higher than the economy as a whole,

They'll raise prices as they so choose. There is where the killing ground will be set. If "we" want to spend the extra money we will.
Maybe that chart could be accompanied by one showing the corresponding growth of tech jobs - with Amazon HQ, Google and Facebook increasing their presence in Seattle in the past decade - not counting Microsoft in Redmond.
Maybe someone can show a chart that shows the raise killed jobs in the area up til now.
So you’re saying the $15 an hour didn’t disuade companies from staying in-state and they’re all still booming, and contributing to a healthy local economy...
There goes that myth then.
Google employs 3,000 people in Seattle. Facebook has 2,000.
Amazon employs 40,000 and is the city's largest employer, but in a metropolis of 2-3 million workers it's still not going to completely skew that graph.
Keep reaching.
LOL wut? Do you know how to read?
Confused about how tech jobs relate to that graph of food services employees
You should look into killing yourself you halfbred cunt n!gger
^^^you should show her how to do it, you racist dip
Well, now we know who Bonnerific is.
I'm interested in the growth in tech jobs compared to the growth in food service. How long has the $15 minimum wage been in effect? There does seem to be a small dip at the right edge of the chart.

I'm glad to be a source of laughter - certainly lifts the mood in here.
It went into effect January 1, 2014 in SeaTac. Been ramping up in Seattle since 2016.

Just another thread that blew on TSA’s face, tbh, and where it’s hard to tell if Wild Cobra and rmt are the same poster...
I think rmt is missing a few parts that WC is looking for
that's the Great Recession of 2008-9.
