"[...] synthetic Seattle is identical to real Seattle prior to the minimum wage hike. That suggests it's a pretty accurate composite. After the minimum wage hike, they stay pretty similar. In fact, real Seattle has slightly higher employment. The obvious conclusion is that raising its minimum wage hasn't depressed employment in Seattle at all."
