Historically raising the minimum wage has never been a failure other than on a temporary basis. To my knowledge there is not any reason to expect the present to be any different. The problem with studies about any subject is they can and often are manipulated to obtain the result that the sponsor of the study wants to obtain or based upon faulty information or conclusions.
