13 states that raised minimum wages this year have higher job growth. "Many business groups argue that raising the minimum wage discourages job growth by increasing the cost of hiring. A Congressional Budget Office report earlier this year lent some support for that view....But the state-by-state hiring data...provides ammunition to those who disagree. Economists who support a higher minimum...acknowledge they don't establish a cause and effect. There are many possible reasons hiring might accelerate in a particular state." Christopher S. Rugaber in the Associated Press.
