1% of jobs? Is the underlying source accounting for seasonal change or were they a desperate narrative chasing data? Even if the underlying story were true that conservatives like to peddle, that jobs are wrecked by raising minimum wage, the impact takes time to suss out the impact of a single variable on a complex item like employment numbers. You don't look at one monthly jobs report and cite 6,000 up or down and proclaim one side was right. The fact they quoted a restaurant org rep with an incredibly dramatized quote "industry smashed, struggling to stay afloat" seals the fact this article is propaganda, not analysis or news.
