I didn't initially understand what you were referring to, but I see you edited/added to your post.

Is this it?

>>>A study of the Los Angeles living wage law, the nation’s most far-reaching living wage law, found that total employment on City service contracts declined by about 3% over the first eighteen months of implementation (Sander and Lokey). The authors of this study note that in Los Angeles, unlike Baltimore, the city did not put contracts up for competitive bids, choosing instead to re-negotiate contracts with existing vendors. The study concluded that implementing a competitive bidding process would help "hold down both costs to the city and the loss of worker jobs."<<<

Still, it's hardly "instiutional unemployment."

Should the LA switch to competitive bidding in the future those "lost jobs" might easily "get found." It's all in the implementation.
