This doesn't affect the overall point, but the "lowest unemployment rate" part of the headline is annoyingly unsupported. Googling "lowest unemployment city in the usa" shows a Google featured snippet listing Sioux Falls as the city with the lowest unemployment rate at 2.1%, which is lower than Seattle's rate.
Edit: turns out the "highest minimum wage" part is also wrong. Seattle's minimum wage is currently $11/hour, and Washington DC's minimum wage is $11.50. (If this is confusing after reading the article, it's because the article didn't mention that the $15/hour rate doesn't start until 2021.)
