really?

march 2015: 3.9%
december 2015: 4.2%

and it is now at 4%.

you have literally zero evidence or data to back up your shitty propaganda.

and your penis is tiny.

wow. you are so incredibly stupid to get duped that easily. i guess you're not interested in seeing how that line immediately goes back up because it contradicts your fragile worldview.

btw, the AEI is a right wing think tank. they are so credible that they take millions of dollars from exxonmobil and then offer tens of thousands of dollars worth of bribes to scientists to speak out against global warming. that is who you are pimping right now.

anyhoo, let me go ahead and complete that graph for you using the actual BLS data, found here: http://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/dsrv

total seattle workforce, march 2015: 417,014 (the month before the first part of the wage increase went into effect)
total seattle workforce, april 2015: 419,933 (the month after, jobs were gained. LOL)
total seattle workforce, december 2015: 418,071 (still more jobs than before the min wage increase, LOL)
total seattle worforce today: 425,951 (LOLing harder now at you)

screenshot of actual BLS data:

you dumb fucking clown.

even a dumbass like me can easily dissect misleading data from the right wing retards at AEI and disprove it completely.

you clearly do not possess these mental faculties, because you are fucking dumb.

clown.

read up on the AEI. they have people like dick cheney and paul wolfowitz and michael bolton working for them. they are indeed a right wing propaganda outlet.

and whatever you do, don't look at the actual BLS numbers i posted which show the seattle workforce to be much bigger now than before the new minimum wage was implemented.

propagandized fool.

But it does save money because those people would not be on the government programs.

It said the "extra" money would fund new programs. It also said every dollar extra the private sector spent would save a few pennies. So, spend dollars to save pennies.

Good thing I didn't say any of those things, isn't it. Otherwise you might have a valid argument. But all you have is lies. Must suck to be you.

You absolutely can. Don't be taken in by the disinformation that people spew, $15 minimum wage would be completely workable. People would bitch and moan, but they would come around, and it would be a huge step towards reducing poverty in a serious way. It would mean that you could actually live a halfway decent life on minimum wage, and it would also mean that you could potentially set aside enough time/money to attend/pay for college or other schooling required to get a higher paying job. A $15 minimum wage would increase economic and social mobility. The only people who want you to believe $15 minimum is too high are the millionaires and billionaires who reap the benefits of underpaying enormous swaths of our population.

If it could work, which I'm still dubious about then sweet. I just don't think it's possible cos greedy bastards are greedy bastards.

This is drivel. Nary a fact, citation or economic principle anywhere in sight. Your conservitard compatriots would applaud!

But you haven't, in fact, said anything at all.

Utterly vacuous.

I'm impressed.

Realistically tho, is an extra 40 bucks a week going to make any difference?

Raise the proposed minimum wage an extra dollar to 11 and people are making 80 a week extra...Now that's some additional spending power.

This is the comment I responded to and btw your math is waaaay off, $1 increase translates to an extra $80 a week?:wall:
