You may have missed the detail that after minimum wage increase:
"Consequently, total payroll fell for such jobs, implying that the minimum wage ordinance
lowered low-wage employees’
earnings by an average of $125 per month in 2016."
so minimum wage workers ended up with LESS money, so they certainly are not better off, business owner is not better off, and neither is the tax payer as that $125 reduction in earnings likely has to be covered by government assistance.
So like I said, it's a complete failure.
