You cite a right wing think tanks OPINION based upon a "GUESS" and they include this paragraph in that opinion..
"
Gitis concedes that an unusually cold winter may have had an impact on overall job growth, but notes that states that raised their minimum wages “experienced relatively warm weather” than states in which wage laws remained unchanged.
He also points out that other factors may have come into play."
Really?
This is suppose to be scientific?
A think tank with no access to any real data, supplies a "GUESS" as to job growth and then lays blame onto the minimum wage, then tries to walk it back with "
other factors may have come into play"..
Then to top it off, you REPEAT the claim.
Give us a break bro. Read this crap before you post it.
Lets take a look at what the department of labor has to say on the issue..
