    When a city near Seattle passed a $15 minimum wage, critics said it would drive business away. Business is thrivinghttp://nyti.ms/2uOceCE

        From your linked article d: "The paper's conclusions contradict years of research on the minimum wage." The study hasn't been peer previewed

        Well paid workers become better consumers. Henry Ford made sure his employees were highly paid. Why? So they could afford his cars!

        One can't make society prosperous simply through buying more in the near-term nor overpaying for least value added jobs

        San Francisco is also booming with minimum wage at $13.00/hr, moving to $15.00/hr next year.

        Those areas are booming from demographic changes & migration. Plus strong advanced economies not from high minimum wages

        But why is everyone migrating to those regions? 🤷🏻‍♂️ couldn't be the living wages as opposed to working 60+ hrs at $7.25 in red states 🤔

        Exactly. Immigrants have historically crossed half the globe seeking a better life with more opportunities.

        Ideal scenario is to have as many labor hours available to be worked as ppl are willing to work to attain

        No, that’s not an ideal situation. It is not ideal for people to literally work themselves to death to feed their families.

        Wow, it's almost like paying people a (nearly) living wage is good for them and the economy. Who'd have thought?

        Clearly Hanover can't read.. SeaTac is embracing $15 & GROWING while Seattle is resisting & losing business. SeaTac is clearly relevant.

        Of course it works. Just like solar, and wind, and single payer insurance.
