I assume it is the study referenced below, I'd wait for more peer review. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/06/26/new-study-casts-doubt-on-whether-a-15-minimum-wage-really-helps-workers/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/06/26/new-s... Top comment: >A non-peer reviewed study that left out all large employers. Seriously! I can't believe the Post did a story on this. Wait for it to actually get published, and then we can talk about how any study on employment that leaves out all the national chain stores is totally bogus. Really this is very shoddy work. I'm disappointed with the Post for highlighting it. At least wait until it got published. This is one step above click-bait.

Almost study about minimum wage uses just restaurants. Even the most famous Card and Krueger did just fast-food in NJ. It's common practice.

this made the rounds yesterday. if anyone read the paper, they subjected exclusively fast food workers, and excluded employers that have locations out of state. now let that sink in. exclusively local fast food places. yet lots of places were probably forced to report it. one newspaper even reported it ironically. the title had a quotation in quotes to read something like "a 'very credible' study says..." .

I agree - I think it's a reaction to the similar stories that started blowing up on blogs recently that claim that the minimum wage increase had no effect, with similarly minimal evidence or review.
