Princeton University: NJ's 1992 minimum wage increase had no effect on employment in fast food sector, when compared to neighboring PA that did not have a wage increase.
If they did a study this year using the same parameters, they'd conclude raising minimum wages by $1 might bring the SuperBowl to your state, or having your governor impeached.
The study obviously failed to account for the rise of NYC in the 1990's and the decline of Philadelphia during that same time period.
