Is this Maryland county using junk research to study the impact of a minimum wage hike? (Yes.) rewire.link/2vxGti3 #FightFor15
Is This Maryland County Using ‘Junk Research’ to Study Wage Hikes?

Is This Maryland County Using ‘Junk Research’ to Study Wage Hikes?

"This study is a clear attempt to validate the opinions of opponents to the wage increase and tamp down public support by threatening job losses for the county's most vulnerable workers."
