The Federal minimum wage was established in 1938.
It was in effect for about 85 years.
It has now, for better or worse, been effectively abolished.

Minimum wage increases address labor supply problems. Employers who pay very low wages cannot fill their existing job vacancies and have difficulty holding on to their employees. Minimum wage increases make these jobs more attractive

BRG, an industry consulting group, claims that seasonally corrected data from FRED shows fast food employment losses in CA relative to other states. But FRED does not account for the much smaller seasonality of CA fast food. My report does so-- and finds no employment losses.

EmPI claims my DDD is a "cover-up" of employment losses because "full-service restaurants are also struggllng." But whether full-service restaurants are declining or not does not enter into a DDD method.

The DDD estimate controls for changes in full-service restaurants in CA relative to those in other states, to ameliorate any confounding non-minimum wage related changes, such as differential economic or population growth.
