Job killer

Here’s your statistic ‘o the day:

State-by-state hiring data released Friday by the Labor Department reveal that in the 13 states that boosted minimum wages at the beginning of this year, the number of jobs grew an average of 0.85 percent from January to June. The average in the other 37 states was 0.61 percent, the Associated Press reports.

Huh. An here I thought a raise in the minimum wage would ruin everything. Isn’t that something?
