There's no evidence that increasing minimum wage kills jobs.
Just 100 years of economic theory.

Anyone who says a carbon tax reduces emissions cannot logically claim that increasing wage costs has no impact on jobs.
The rules of economics do not change simply because someone's political desires require the change.

The academic literature is mixed (which means there is evidences supporting my claim which you ignored).
Ideologically driven economists will obviously attack the Seattle study but that does not mean it conclusions were wrong.

More importantly, economic theory says that there will be impact so it requires extraordinary evidence to establish the opposite.
Studies that claim that it can't be measured are not extraordinary evidence because it could mean they are not measuring it properly.
