Read about that last week or early this week. Oregon was up 5,300 food service jobs statewide, but down 700 in Seattle. Pretty damning evidence.

The AEI study, worked up from Bureau of Labor Statistics’ monthly surveys, shows that, between April and December last year, Seattle saw the biggest employment drop in any nine-month period since 2009 — a full year into the Great Recession.

The city unemployment rate rose a full percentage point.

Before the minimum-wage hikes begin, Seattle employment tracked the rest of the nation — slowly rising from the 2008-09 bottom. But it started to plunge last spring, as the new law began to kick in.

Furthermore, Seattle’s loss of 10,000 jobs in just the three months of September, October and November was a record for any three-month period dating back to 1990.

Meanwhile, employment outside the city limits — which had long tracked the rate in Seattle proper — was soaring by 57,000 and set a new record high that November.

EVIDENCE that voting for a politicians who supports the gargantuan bankrupt welfare/warfare police state is dangerous to OUR COLLECTIVE health.

Better 2 jobs at $15 than 6 jobs at $5.

For the working class.

Yes...because four people can collect unemployment...

Just for the record, the minimum wage is not 15 in Seattle.

BTW, businesses fully fund unemployment insurance.

Slavery could create full employment.

If you believe conservatives, business funding of UE doesn't cost the business anything.

Then you have no idea of the definition of employment.

Hogwash!

Seattle Food Jobs Soar After $11 Minimum Wage Starts

Yes, the loss of 1,000 jobs between April and May, after the implementation of the $11 an hour minimum wage, was large. There was a 900 position drop between August and September, which only shows that few trends work in absolute straight lines. But the gain of 1,100 jobs between May and June, at the same $11 an hour minimum wage, was larger. And that was equaled by the 1,100 position jump between September and October.
In short, the number of restaurant jobs dropped by 2,000 between January 2015 and May, but then increased by 2,900 between May and November, again after the April increase to $11 an hour. Net gain from January to November was 900 jobs.

Pretend you've never heard the RWnut line that corporations never really pay taxes, because they just pass the cost along to the consumer...

A slave works, he gets room and board, so to speak, in exchange. That's not a job?

Every news outlet has their own rules for gathering statistics so I'll take each article with a grain of salt.
