What are the stats on raising the minimum wage?

[Quixote1818]

Their is a debate going on here in New Mexico over this issue. From what I have seen where states have actually raised the minimum wage it's worked out for the better.

I am watching a debate on local TV and the guy who is pro MW is wiping the floor with the guy against it.

Does anyone have the stats on places like New Jersey where they raised the minimum wage?

Thanks

1. Here's a link to an article on the Card & Krueger study

indicating a positive impact:

2. Thanks. It's interesting how employment has gone up

when states have raised the MW.
