You deserve a pat on the back for digging up research instead of simply spewing opinions like most other HN comments. Bravo. This is the gateway to reasoned argument. (Although, I notice, I am the only one replying to you.)
People pretend that their feelings about minimum wage are facts, far too often, and that kind of self-ignorant argumentation hurts everyone.
- RyanMcGreal 14y agoThank you. In the interest of disclosure, I already had those references on hand, having done the research for a previous debate on a minimum wage (not on HN).
- crusso 14y agoMeh, I looked through some of the links. The first one didn't resolve and no one said ANYTHING. That tells me no one looked through these links, they just upvoted the "spaghetti on the wall pile of links post". The second link was more of an opinion piece from a progressive pro-minimum wage site. The third one was from EPI, which has on its front page how the Sequestration cuts are dire financial problems for the country. Jeez, did someone take Jay Carney's podium notes and reprint them as actual pieces of credible journalism? I gave up after that. A spam of useless links does not scholarship make.
- RyanMcGreal 14y agoGood catch on the first link - it seems to have moved since I first looked it up. Here's the current URL: http://www.risep-fiu.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/FL-Minimum-Wage.pdf http://www.risep-fiu.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/FL-Minim...
