>Whether the minimum wage hike is in response or a contributing factor is up for debate. It's definitely a chicken-and-egg problem.

If it's negatively associated with the employment rate (and in the short run, of course it is), it isn't much. To lose a couple of tenths of a percent of employment for a spike in wages is, on balance, just fine. We can make it up in other ways. You can't really make up wages in any other ways other than paying more.
