A ‘very credible’ new study on Seattle’s $15 minimum wage has bad news for liberals
When Seattle officials voted three years ago to incrementally boost the city's minimum wage up to $15 an hour, they'd hoped to improve the lives of low-income workers. Yet according to a major new study that could force economists to reassess past research on the issue, the hike has had the opposite effect.
The city is gradually increasing the hourly minimum to $15 over several years. Already, though, some employers have not been able to afford the increased minimums. They've cut their payrolls, putting off new hiring, reducing hours or letting their workers go, the study found.
The costs to low-wage workers in Seattle outweighed the benefits by a ratio of three to one, according to the study, conducted by a group of economists at the University of Washington who were commissioned by the city. The study, published as a working paper Monday by the National Bureau of Economic Research, has not yet been peer reviewed.
On the whole, the study estimates, the average low-wage worker in the city lost $125 a month because of the hike in the minimum.

So because the burger flipper/griller made choices to not further his or hers ( wait, maybe they are a non binary?) education they now expect to make a livable wage at a burger place?
Best advice I ever heard, I overheard. I was doing work in a Jack in the Box in San Diego. Two workers, a black gentleman, probably in his 60s, was talking to a young lady who looked like she was in her twenties. He was explaining to her that working in a fast food restaurant is for two types of people. Kids who are going to school and retirees like himeself. He also told her that if you are trying to live off of a job like that expect to struggle. Last thing I heard him tell her was learn to make better decisions.
I'm assuming the worker is documented, for purposes of this discussion.
$ 28,800.00
$ 1691.00 a month for a one bedroom apt in LA proper.
x 12 = $ 20,292.00 Many people divide the rent, which halves
the cost. Better get a good roommate .....
If you pay the rent solo it leaves a balance of $ 8508.00
if you work no overtime.
$ 8508.00 / 12 = $ 709.00 a month for food/utl/ext
Halving the rent on a single gives you $ 10,146.00 more a year.
Doing these numbers makes me so glad for the college ed.
When young you could survive, but sheez what a struggle.
I haven't even included health fees, a Car/Ins and fuel.....
At $ 28,800 you better be at least at night school.....
Wow....
Fair point. That's not the type of job that's suppose to pay a living wage. But either you don't want a minimum wage, or there's some amount you would require.

Your fear is obvious, your ideas for alleviating that fear are scatterbrained and irrational.
Then the hourly wouldn't be $15. Undocumented workers aren't protected by minimum wage laws and the employer would be a criminal for hiring them.

So you think the crazy fucks in seattle and Ca won't hire illegals and demand they do get the minimum?
Why do they have driver licenses and why would they need to be sanctuary cities?
For a super smart, well educated, big time lawyer you certainly have your head somewhere it shouldn't be.

Scatterbrained and irrational is letting people come and go into our country unchecked, but hey, that is the foundation of the democrat party. Have you seen this nutjob Pelosi?
Now that is appreciation for taking the illegal, disease ridden parasites into our country.

They don't hire them and demand that. Not only that, it's a crime. Have you ever seen an I-9 form. Quit freaking out for no reason, Chicken Little.

Are you telling me you do not know anyone who hires illegals?

Special Order 40 is a police mandate implemented in 1979 by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), its Police Chief Daryl Gates and the Los Angeles City Council preventing LAPD officers from questioning people for the sole purpose of determining their immigration status.[1][2] The mandate was passed in an effort to encourage undocumented aliens to report crimes without intimidation.[2] The first section of the order states:
Officers shall not initiate police action with the objective of discovering the alien status of a person.
Officers shall not arrest nor book persons for violation of title 8, section 1325 of the United States Immigration code (Illegal Entry).[3]
WTF?
