It won't put a dent in mine. I live in Seattle, I'm seeing the effects of economic growth here, and getting to a minimum wage that's inflation-adjusted still makes a ton of sense.
From [1]: "Our results show that wages in food services did increase—indicating the policy achieved its goal — and our
estimates of the wage increases are in line with the lion’s share of results in previous credible minimum wage studies. Wages increased much less among full-service restaurants, indicating that employers made use of the tip credit component of the law. Employment in food service, however,
was not affected, even among the limited-service restaurants, many of them franchisees, for whom the policy was most binding. These findings extend our knowledge of minimum wage effects to policies as high as $13."
