Every prediction of doom from minimum wage hikes has failed to come to pass [1], yet the anti-minimum wage dead-enders advance ever more tendentious, hair-splitting and arcane justifications for why minimum wage increases are "bad news." A policy that has the effect of transitioning the economy from low-skill low-wage jobs to more high-skill high-wage ones ought to be celebrated among human beings as a victory. It provides an incentive for workers to improve their skills to compete more effectively and meaningfully increase their income. Only those who outright prefer a serf economy can describe this study as a negative for Seattle.
