More fruit of the cherry tree. I don't think either is a good test. Indicative but not sufficient. Other than the fact I didn't cherry pick them, I suppose you have a point. Like I said, those were just two I knew about. In another year, there will be a wider selection to choose from. This past election, many states passed minimum wages above the federal level. Another reason to choose Seattle is that i-node was predicting soaring unemployment there when they instituted the higher minimum wage. and that restaurants, in particular, would abandon the city. Neither of those happened. Not all minimum wagers are teenagers, living at home or otherwise. For them, a "training wage" has been proposed. I don't have a real problem with that as long as it is restricted.
