I read this and to me the numbers DON'T ADD UP.

" a 9 percent reduction in hours worked, The Seattle Times reported. For an average low-wage Seattle worker, that’s a loss of about $125 per month, the study said."

Given the TOP minimum wage was $13/hr before the raise, if you work 40 hours you gross $520 /week.
If you work 9% less hours (36.4 hours/week) at $15/hr you gross $546 / week
That's clearly not a "loss of $125/mo" to any one person.
  

And if you're talking 9% less JOBS due to a $2/hr increase (minimum) in salary, 
why is their unemployment rate "at a historically low 2.6 percent?"

Maybe they're referring to a loss of "time& one half" overtime?  

Just sayin' ...
