      I’m all for raising the minimum wage. Even including because I believe that increasing pay for the lowest wage workers boosts the economy.

      But this went into effect in April, and they’ve added 11k jobs since then, which accounts for 1.5% of the total fastfood jobs…during a growing economy.

      This isn’t some evidence that raising minimum wage increases job growth, but a good data point that it can not hurt it.

      Confirmation bias is a hell of a drug, always be mindful of it.
