Regardless of what economists say about the impact of raising the minimum wage in terms of lost jobs or increased prices, there is a historical record that researchers can and do look at.
My statement was not an opinion, it was based on analysis of the historical record. Economists can argue that increasing the minimum wage will reduce jobs and increase prices out of control of those who just recieved the wage increase, but they would then be wrong according to the empirical evidence.
