i only said it was 'very possible'.Partial quote is cited as its rebuttal should have been included in my response.
But I hate substantive post-edits.
If it's so easy, it should be a piece of cake to prove.
So prove it already.
but i like a challenge.
since june 2009, texas has added a little over a quarter million jobs: http://dallasfed.org/research/update-reg/2011/1105.cfm
now, i am unable to find any stats for how many minimum wage jobs were added during the same time period. but we know that 330,000 were added from 2007-2010. about 110,000 a year.
so you added 265,000 new jobs in two years, about 132,500 per year. you also average about 110,000 minimum wage jobs during a partially overlapping timeframe.
110/132 > 50%
like i said, lacking perfectly overlapping statistics, we can't know for sure. but if i were a magic eight-ball, i would say "all signs point to yes"
