You ignore the studies to the contrary and critiques of the studies you post. As for the studies or commentary about studies that you link to - The first says job growth is faster in states that raised the wage to $9.50. Which is nowhere near $15, and also doesn't demonstrate that the job growth is faster because of the increase. Perhaps most important of all its only measuring a period of one to 9 months ("from Aug-Dec 1013 to Jan-May 2014"). Also the state with the largest increase CA, had underperformed in recent years years and is now having some catch up. Furthermore there is no mention of the statistical significance of the conclusion they draw. Also I see none of them study an effect of a very large increase in minimum wage (like the suggested national increase from $7.25 to $15) More than one of the links mention Card/Kruger in support of their conclusions. The problems with their study where address here, Message 29319109 , but for some reason you seem to ignore it. Why is that?
